Instrument your application to send telemetry to ClickHouse Observability using ClickStack SDKs or OpenTelemetry. The guides below cover application instrumentation and connection settings for both ClickHouse Observability and self-managed deployments. To have a coding assistant apply these instructions to your application, follow Instrument with AI.

Connect your application

  1. Follow the guide for your language or platform to configure instrumentation.
  2. Choose your destination in that guide:
    • Fully managed: use your service’s managed OTLP endpoint and ingestion API key, available in Team Settings → Data → Managed Telemetry.
    • Self-managed: use your OpenTelemetry Collector’s OTLP endpoint and configured ingestion key.
  3. Generate application activity, then verify the expected telemetry in the UI.
The individual guides provide the authentication format and exporter settings for each SDK. The Lambda guide also provides an OpenTelemetry layers option that forwards telemetry through a local Collector.
