Claude Code Administration

Monitoring Overview

Claude Code supports OpenTelemetry (OTel) for metrics and events. The system exports time series data via standard metrics protocol and events through logs/events protocol.

Quick Setup

Enable telemetry:

export CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1

Configure exporters (optional, pick what you need):

# Metrics
export OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=otlp  # Options: otlp, prometheus, console
