would it be possible to disable to audio recording in the observability feature to ONLY use traces etc? We are seeing privacy regarding audio transcripts more critical and would like to disable that

At that point it would just be a way to visualize the metrics, and see turns overlap etc, but you wouldn't have the context of what was said during each turn. Unless I am misunderstanding? The raw data is also available from https://docs.livekit.io/agents/observability/data/#metrics.

I essentially want a setting that disables the recording of audio / voice data in the observability panel (see screenshot attached)

^ this line confused me, plus it was early Monday morning 🙂 I see what you're saying, but I don't see it in the team's backlog... I'll pass your feedback to the team.
