Anthropic has added OpenTelemetry trace export to the Claude Platform, announcing on October 14, 2026 that developers can now send traces from Claude Managed Agents , the Messages API, and Claude SDKs to any observability tool that accepts the standard, with the feature available in public beta.
In Anthropic’s announcement , the company said that adding a destination in the Claude Console sends every agent turn, model call, and tool use to the user’s observability tool as a standard OpenTelemetry trace carrying latency, token counts, and IDs.
Managed Agents and the Messages API require that Console destination, while Claude SDKs export traces automatically.
Developers who already send Claude Code or Cowork traces to an observability tool can have agents built on the Claude Platform appear in the same place.
Anthropic said Claude traces follow the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions, so data from Claude and other providers works in the same tools and dashboards, and the traces also work with any OpenTelemetry tool that accepts a standard OTLP endpoint.
