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, posthog-node can also create and export spans on its own, with no OpenTelemetry dependency. See the Node.js guide 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.
