Direct OTLP Export

Send OpenTelemetry traces and logs directly to Sentry from your OTel SDK.

Configure your OpenTelemetry SDK to send traces and logs directly to Sentry's OTLP endpoints without an intermediary.

Use direct export when:

  • You want the simplest setup
  • You don't need to process or transform telemetry before sending
  • You're not aggregating data from multiple sources

If you need to collect data from infrastructure, transform data, or route to multiple destinations, see Forwarding instead.
