Service-managed chatHistory storage through azure.

[Abalast8899]

Hello,
I have some questions about service-managed storage based on this blog post:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/agent-framework/chat-history-storage-patterns-in-microsoft-agent-framework/?ocid=agent-framework_eml_tnp_autoid213_title.

So let's say I create a session based on an agent that I created using the GetResponseClient() function and enabled server based storage.

Is the chatHistory stored in the region based on the agent's LLM that I used to create the session?

And can I look up the content of the chat history stored by Azure somewhere?

@Abalast8899, please check out this article from Foundry that addresses data storage:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/responsible-ai/openai/data-privacy?tabs=azure-portal

Note that this only applies when using GetResponseClient with the Foundry service.

Thank you for your response.

This article explains how the chat history is stored.

However, unlike with normal chat history, when I serialise to JSON, I cannot see the contents of the chat history. Is there a way to view the contents of my sessions?

I assume you mean that you are serializing the session object? This will only contain the id of the service stored chat history when storing chat history in the service.
Services that store chat history typically do support ways to download chat history, and the mechanism will differ depending on the service and chat history storage type chosen.

When using responses with response ids (not conversation ids, which work differently), it is possible to download chat history using the List input items and Retrieve a response apis:
