 > Using this method implicitly enables telemetry, so you do not need to set the `ENABLE_OTEL` environment variable. You can still set `ENABLE_SENSITIVE_DATA` to control whether sensitive data is included in the telemetry, or call the `setup_observability()` function with the `enable_sensitive_data` parameter set to `True`.
 
 #### Logging
+Agent Framework has a built-in logging configuration that works well with telemetry. It sets the format to a standard format that includes timestamp, pathname, line number, and log level. You can use that by calling the `setup_logging()` function from the `agent_framework` module.

+from agent_framework import setup_logging

 You can control at what level logging happens and thus what logs get exported, you can do this, by adding this:
