Install tracing
Contents
PostHog Tracing works with any OpenTelemetry-compatible client – point its OTLP trace exporter at PostHog and you're done, with no PostHog-specific packages.
On Node.js and Python, the PostHog SDK can also create and export spans on its own, with no OpenTelemetry dependency. See the Node.js and Python guides for both routes.
Platforms
Note: Tracing uses the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) standard over HTTP. If your language isn't listed, check the OpenTelemetry documentation for a compatible SDK and point its OTLP trace exporter at PostHog.
