OpenTelemetry Anthropic instrumentation

This library allows tracing LLM requests made by the Anthropic Python SDK.

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-anthropic

If you don’t have an Anthropic application yet, try our examples which only need a valid Anthropic API key.

Check out the zero-code example for a quick start.

Usage

This section describes how to set up Anthropic instrumentation if you’re setting OpenTelemetry up manually. Check out the manual example for more details.

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.genai.anthropic import AnthropicInstrumentor
import anthropic

# Instrument Anthropic
AnthropicInstrumentor().instrument()

# Use Anthropic client as normal
client = anthropic.Anthropic()
response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude!"}
    ]
)

Configuration

Capture Message Content

By default, prompts and completions are not captured. To capture message content, set the environment variable OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT to one of NO_CONTENT, SPAN_ONLY, EVENT_ONLY, or SPAN_AND_EVENT:

export OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT=SPAN_AND_EVENT
