# Test a Telemetry Destination

`$client->beta->organization->telemetryDestinations->test(string destinationID, ?list<AnthropicBeta> betas): TelemetryDestinationTestResponse`

**POST** `/v1/organizations/telemetry_destinations/{destination_id}/test`

Send one test span, named `anthropic.test`, to the destination with its registered headers, once and without retries, and report the destination's answer. The response is 200 whether or not the destination answered with a 2xx status: its `result` has the type `success`, or the type `failure` and the reason in `error`. The destination's configuration, `state` and `delivery_health` do not change. A disabled destination can be tested too. Wait 10 seconds between tests of one destination; a request that comes sooner may be answered with status 429.

## Parameters

- `destinationID: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the destination to test (starts with `tdst_`).

- `betas?: optional list<AnthropicBeta>` (header parameter)

  This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `telemetry-destinations-2026-08-11` in this header.

## Returns

- `class TelemetryDestinationTestResponse`

  - `"telemetry_destination_test" type`

  - `TelemetryDestinationTestResult result`

    How the test went: `success` when the destination answered with a 2xx status, else `failure` with the reason.

## Example

```php
<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Anthropic\Client;
use Anthropic\Beta\AnthropicBeta;

$client = new Client(apiKey: 'my-anthropic-api-key');

$betaTelemetryDestinationTestResponse = $client
  ->beta
  ->organization
  ->telemetryDestinations
  ->test('destination_id', betas: [AnthropicBeta::MESSAGE_BATCHES_2024_09_24]);

var_dump($betaTelemetryDestinationTestResponse);
```

### Response (200)

```json
{
  "result": {
    "type": "success"
  },
  "type": "telemetry_destination_test"
}
```
