Claude-Code + OpenTelemetry (SigNoz Cloud)

This repo contains two helper scripts for quickly wiring up OpenTelemetry exports from your local dev machine to SigNoz Cloud while you work with Claude Code / VS Code.

• claude_code_otel_terminal.sh — sets environment variables for the current terminal session, so that any Claude code activity will be exported to SigNoz.
• claude_code_otel_vscode.sh — launches VS Code (code) with the same environment so any Claude Code activity in the VSCode session will be exported to SigNoz.

1) Prerequisites

• SigNoz Cloud account and an Ingestion Key.
• Your region’s OTLP endpoint (hostname only; port is 443):
• VS Code CLI (code) available in your PATH (see below).

Make sure code is linked to VS Code

• macOS: In VS Code, open Command Palette → Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH.
• Windows: During install, select “Add to PATH”. Or run VS Code installer again and enable that option.
• Linux: If you installed via a package manager, code is usually in PATH already (which code to confirm).

2) Configure the scripts

Open each script and replace the placeholders:

• Set the <region> to match your SigNoz Cloud region
• Replace <your-signoz-ingestion-key> with your SigNoz ingestion key

3) Make the scripts executable

Before running them, give both scripts execution permissions:

chmod +x ./claude_code_otel_terminal.sh
chmod +x ./claude_code_otel_vscode.sh

Now you can either script and track your Claude Code activity!
