# Test a Telemetry Destination

`beta.organization.telemetry_destinations.test_(destination_id, **kwargs) -> BetaTelemetryDestinationTestResponse`

**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

- `destination_id: String` (path parameter)

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

- `betas: Array[AnthropicBeta]` (header parameter)

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

## Returns

- `class BetaTelemetryDestinationTestResponse`

  The result of one test span sent to a destination.

  - `type: :telemetry_destination_test`

  - `result: BetaTelemetryDestinationTestResult`

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

    - `class BetaTelemetryDestinationTestSuccess`

      The destination answered the test span with a 2xx status.

      - `type: :success`

    - `class BetaTelemetryDestinationTestFailure`

      The test span was not delivered.

      - `type: :failure`

      - `error: String`

        A message that describes why the test span was not delivered, including the HTTP status code when the destination returned one. Examples: `HTTP error (status 403)`, `timeout`, `TLS failure`. It has the same form as the destination's `delivery_health.last_error` and never contains the destination's response body, any header value, a network address, or TLS details.

## Example

```ruby
require "anthropic"

anthropic = Anthropic::Client.new(api_key: "my-anthropic-api-key")

beta_telemetry_destination_test_response = anthropic.beta.organization.telemetry_destinations.test_("destination_id")

puts(beta_telemetry_destination_test_response)
```

### Response (200)

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