Azure API Management adds policy for LLM token usage tracking

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Azure API Management has introduced a new policy, llm-emit-token-metric, designed to automatically track and report token usage for LLM-powered APIs. This policy sends metrics such as prompt tokens, completion tokens, and total tokens to Application Insights. The captured data allows for detailed cost tracking, usage monitoring, and anomaly detection, integrating directly into the APIM request pipeline. Engineering teams can leverage this telemetry for FinOps dashboards and to enforce governance on LLM consumption. AI

IMPACT Enhances cost and usage management for LLM-powered applications integrated with Azure.
