# Anthropic Launches OpenTelemetry Tracing Support in Public Beta

Claude Platform can export traces following OpenTelemetry gen_ai conventions from the Messages API, Managed Agents, and Claude SDKs.

- Default spans export metadata including duration, status, token counts, model, and tool names.
- A "full content" setting allows exporting complete prompts, responses, tool inputs, and tool results.
- Export destinations are configured inside the Claude Console or directly in Claude SDKs.

## Why it matters

Developers using Claude can pipe structured execution metrics and payload data directly into existing observability stacks without writing custom instrumentation.
