Use these destinations with Cloudflare telemetry and your existing observability tools. ## Supported telemetry You can export these telemetry types: - [**Cloudflare Traces**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/traces/) - Traces showing production request paths through Cloudflare - [**Workers Traces**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/observability/traces/) - Traces showing requests through Workers and connected services - [**Workers Logs**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/observability/logs/workers-logs/) - Application and system logs, including `console.log()` output ## Available destinations These endpoint formats cover common observability providers. Check your provider documentation for current authentication requirements. | Provider | Traces endpoint | Logs endpoint | | --- | --- | --- | | [**Honeycomb**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/export/opentelemetry/honeycomb/) | `https://api.honeycomb.io/v1/traces` | `https://api.honeycomb.io/v1/logs` | | [**Grafana Cloud**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/export/opentelemetry/grafana-cloud/) | `https://otlp-gateway-.grafana.net/otlp/v1/traces` | `https://otlp-gateway-.grafana.net/otlp/v1/logs` | | [**Firetiger** ↗︎](https://docs.firetiger.com/ingest/cloudflare-workers.html) | `https://ingest.cloud.firetiger.com/v1/traces` | `https://ingest.cloud.firetiger.com/v1/logs` | | [**Axiom**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/export/opentelemetry/axiom/) | `https://api.axiom.co/v1/traces` | `https://api.axiom.co/v1/logs` | | [**Sentry**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/export/opentelemetry/sentry/) | `https:///api//integration/otlp/v1/traces` | `https:///api//integration/otlp/v1/logs` | | [**Sematext** ↗︎](https://sematext.com/docs/guide/managed-otlp-endpoint/) | `https://otlp-receiver.sematext.com` (US), `https://otlp-receiver.eu.sematext.com` (EU) | `https://otlp-receiver.sematext.com` (US), `https://otlp-receiver.eu.sematext.com` (EU) | | [**PostHog**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/export/opentelemetry/posthog/) | Not supported | `https://.i.posthog.com/i/v1/logs` | | [**Datadog** ↗︎](https://docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetry/setup/otlp_ingest/managed_platforms/) | `https://cloudflare.integrations.otlp./v1/traces` | `https://cloudflare.integrations.otlp./v1/logs` | | [**New Relic** ↗︎](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/opentelemetry/best-practices/opentelemetry-otlp/) | `https://otlp.nr-data.net/v1/traces` | `https://otlp.nr-data.net/v1/logs` | | [**Splunk Observability** ↗︎](https://dev.splunk.com/observability/reference/api/ingest_data/latest) | `https://ingest..signalfx.com/v2/trace/otlp` | N/A | | [**Splunk Platform** ↗︎](https://github.com/splunk/splunk-connect-for-otlp) | `http://splunk.internal:4318/v1/traces` | `http://splunk.internal:4318/v1/logs` | | [**SigNoz** ↗︎](https://signoz.io/docs/integrations/outposts/cloudflare-workers/) | `https://ingest..signoz.cloud:443/v1/traces` | `https://ingest..signoz.cloud:443/v1/logs` | Authentication Most providers require authentication headers. Check your provider documentation for specific requirements. ## Create a destination Create an account-level Cloudflare Observability destination first. Protocol Cloudflare does not support the [binary format ↗︎](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otlp/#binary-protobuf-encoding) for OTLP ingestion. ![Observability Destinations dashboard showing configured destinations for Grafana and Honeycomb with their respective endpoints and status](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=1794,height=750,format=webp/_astro/destinations.B-CW_OSI.png) 1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to **Observability** > **Destinations**. [Go to **OpenTelemetry** ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/observability/destinations) 2. Select **Add destination**. 3. Configure the destination: - **Destination name** - Enter a descriptive name, such as `grafana-traces`. - **Destination type** - Select *Traces* or *Logs*. - **OTLP endpoint** - Enter the provider endpoint for your telemetry type. - **Custom headers** - Add any provider authentication headers. 4. Select **Save**. ![Edit Destination dialog showing configuration for Honeycomb tracing with destination name, type selection, OTLP endpoint, and custom headers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=1942,height=974,format=webp/_astro/destination-setup.B8cxx8yd.png) ## Enable export for Cloudflare Traces Add the destination under **Export destinations** in your domain settings. Refer to [Cloudflare Traces configuration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/traces/configuration/#export-traces). ## Enable OpenTelemetry export for your Worker Configure and redeploy your Worker after creating a destination. Refer to [Workers OpenTelemetry export](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/observability/opentelemetry-export/). ## Check destination status The dashboard shows each destination delivery status. The status reflects the most recent delivery attempt. | Status | Description | Troubleshooting | | --- | --- | --- | | **Last: n minutes ago** | Cloudflare delivered data recently. | No action required | | **Never run** | Cloudflare has not delivered data. | Check source traffic, export settings, and sampling rates | | **Error** | Cloudflare could not deliver data. | Check the OTLP endpoint and authentication headers | ## Known limitations Some providers do not support every OTLP telemetry type. Check the [available destinations](#available-destinations) and your provider documentation. Was this helpful?
