Create a Telemetry Destination

POST/v1/organizations/telemetry_destinations

Register an OpenTelemetry destination for the organization.

The destination starts in state enabled. An organization can have at most 10 destinations, including disabled ones.

See the OpenTelemetry export guide to learn more about adding a destination.

Body
endpoint_url: string

The base URL of your collector's OTLP/HTTP endpoint, for example https://gateway.example.com.

The URL must use https and a hostname, not an IP address. The port, if given, must be 443. The URL must not contain a query string, a fragment, or a username and password. At most 2,048 characters.

A path prefix, such as /otlp, is allowed. Don't include the per-signal path (/v1/traces), because the API appends it on delivery. If your collector takes traces on another path, also set traces.endpoint_url.

minLength1
maxLength2048
workspaces: BetaTelemetryDestinationWorkspacesParams

Which of the organization's workspaces the destination covers.

One of the following:
display_name: optional string or null

Human-readable name for the destination. Optional. 1 to 255 characters.

headers: optional map[string]

Request headers that the API sends with every delivery, typically your collector's authentication header (for example authorization).

The API stores the values encrypted and never returns them. Reads show only header_names.

At most 20 headers. Names are at most 128 characters. Two names can't differ only in case. Values are printable ASCII, at most 4,096 characters, and can't begin or end with a space. Names and values together are at most 16,384 bytes.

Reserved names are rejected, for example host, cookie, user-agent, and names that start with content-, proxy-, x-forwarded-, or anthropic-. For this check, _ in a name counts as -.

traces: optional BetaTelemetryDestinationTracesParams { content_mode, enabled, endpoint_url, max_content_bytes }

The settings for the traces that the destination receives. If you leave it out, every setting takes its default.

content_mode: optional BetaTelemetryDestinationContentMode or null

What the exported spans contain. Defaults to metadata_only on create.

On update, null sets metadata_only.

One of the following:
"metadata_only"

The spans contain identifiers, timing, status, token counts, and similar metadata. They don't contain prompt text, completion text, or tool inputs and outputs.

"content"

The spans contain the same metadata as metadata_only, plus message and tool content.

An organization with a data-handling restriction, such as under HIPAA, can't choose this mode. The API exports only metadata for such an organization, even to a destination that already has content.

enabled: optional boolean

Whether the destination receives traces. Defaults to true on create. It cannot be null.

endpoint_url: optional string or null

The full URL of your collector's traces endpoint, for a collector that takes traces on a path other than /v1/traces. The API posts traces to it exactly as given and appends nothing.

The same rules as for endpoint_url apply, except that any path is allowed. It must have the same scheme, host, and port as endpoint_url. At most 2,048 characters.

On create, null is the same as leaving it out. On update, null removes it. The API then posts traces to endpoint_url with /v1/traces appended. A change of this URL alone keeps the registered headers.

maxLength2048
max_content_bytes: optional number or null

The most bytes of content that one exported span can contain, from 1 up to the API's maximum. null sets no bound, so only the API's maximum applies.

On create, leaving it out is the same as null. The error for a value above the maximum states the maximum.

Returns
BetaTelemetryDestination object{ type: "telemetry_destination", id, created_at, 8 more }

An OpenTelemetry destination: an OTLP/HTTP endpoint, the request headers sent with every delivery to it, what the exported spans contain, and which workspaces it covers. A destination belongs to an organization. A workspace's spans go to every enabled destination that covers it.
