How to Setup OpenTelemetry

Activepieces supports both standard OpenTelemetry environment variables and vendor-specific configuration for observability and tracing.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default Value	Example
AP_OTEL_ENABLED	Enable OpenTelemetry tracing	false	true
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT	OTLP exporter endpoint URL	None	https://your-collector:4317/v1/traces
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS	Headers for OTLP exporter (comma-separated key=value pairs)	None	Authorization=Bearer token

<Note> Both `AP_OTEL_ENABLED` and `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` must be set for OpenTelemetry to be enabled. </Note>
