Claude API launches OpenTelemetry export in beta to trace Messages API requests and Managed Agents sessions
Claude requests and managed agent sessions can now flow into your own observability backend, next to traces from the rest of your stack.
// Key points
- Messages API requests and Claude Managed Agents sessions can be traced in your observability backend, in beta.
- The Claude SDK emits spans in Python, TypeScript, C#, Go, Java, PHP and Ruby.
- To get spans from the API side, add an OpenTelemetry destination in the Claude Console.
Builder's takeI have been wrapping model calls in my own logging; that layer can now move to standard tracing. I’d start by adding an OpenTelemetry destination for document Q&A in the AI Cloud Drive, so one question shows as a single trace from file parsing to the model’s answer and I can see which step is slow; before production I’d check exactly what the spans carry, then decide which backend they go to.
