Agnost AI runs a hosted OTLP collector at otel.agnost.ai. Any framework that emits OpenTelemetry spans can ship them straight to Agnost: no SDK required. 
Your AI App  →  otel.agnost.ai  →  Agnost Dashboard

​
Quick Setup

Set two environment variables before starting your app: 
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://otel.agnost.ai
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="X-Agnost-Org-ID=<your-org-id>"
Get your org ID from app.agnost.ai. For SDKs that take an explicit URL, use https://otel.agnost.ai/v1/traces.

​
Custom Tool Spans

If your stack doesn’t have a framework integration, wrap each agent / tool call in an OTel span. Name the span with a tool. prefix so Agnost classifies it as a tool call.

​
1. Install

Already have an OTel SDK and the OTLP exporter installed? Skip. No OTel yet? 
pip install opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http

​
2. Wire the OTLP exporter pointing at Agnost

Already have an OTel TracerProvider? Append Agnost as an additional span processor: 
from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter

trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(
    BatchSpanProcessor(
        OTLPSpanExporter(
            endpoint="https://otel.agnost.ai/v1/traces",
            headers={"X-Agnost-Org-ID": os.environ["AGNOST_ORG_ID"]},
        )
    )
)
No OTel yet? Full setup: 
import os
from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource

provider = TracerProvider(resource=Resource.create({"service.name": "my-app"}))
provider.add_span_processor(
    BatchSpanProcessor(
        OTLPSpanExporter(
            endpoint="https://otel.agnost.ai/v1/traces",
            headers={"X-Agnost-Org-ID": os.environ["AGNOST_ORG_ID"]},
        )
    )
)
trace.set_tracer_provider(provider)

​
3. Wrap each agent turn in a span with userId / sessionId

tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

with tracer.start_as_current_span("tool.search_web") as span:
    span.set_attribute("agnost.user_id", "user-42")
    span.set_attribute("agnost.session_id", "conv-abc123")
    span.set_attribute("input", query)
    try:
        result = search_web(query)
        span.set_attribute("output", str(result))
    except Exception as exc:
        span.record_exception(exc)
        raise
