how can i save the loggings/chat history in a database?

Thanks for reaching out, Ju. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Just a heads-up: LiveKit doesn’t come with built-in long-term storage for chat messages or logs. If you want to save chat history, you’ll need to set up your own persistence layer. Here are a few ways you can do that: • AI Agent Sessions: You can use the
session.history
property to grab the full conversation history. Plus, you can register a shutdown callback to save that history to your database when the session ends. • Real-Time Logging: By listening to events like
user_speech_committed
or
agent_speech_committed
, you can capture messages as they happen and save them right away. • Client Applications: Another option is to capture messages sent or received through LiveKit’s data channels and send them to your backend for storage. If you’d like, I’m happy to help you figure out how to set this up with a specific database like PostgreSQL or MongoDB, or with a framework such as Node.js or Python. Just let me know!

can i save it in a database and deploy the agent? or is is not working then?

Absolutely, you can save chat history in a database and still deploy your agent without any issues. Storing the chat history won’t get in the way of how the agent works. You can set up a persistence layer to log messages either in real-time or once a session ends, and your agent will keep running smoothly. If you’d like a hand with setting up the database or connecting it to your agent, just let me know which database or framework you’re using. I’m here to help you every step of the way!
