Setup Tracing

Configure tracing for your application

Get started sending traces to Phoenix from your application. Choose the approach that best fits your needs.

Quick Start

The fastest way to get started is using the Phoenix OTEL wrapper, which provides sensible defaults and automatic configuration.

Python Setup

Use phoenix.otel for automatic configuration with Phoenix-aware defaults

TypeScript Setup

Use @arizeai/phoenix-otel to trace your Node.js applications

---

Instrumentation Methods

Choose how you want to instrument your code:

Auto Instrumentation

Automatically capture traces from popular frameworks and LLM providers with zero code changes

Tracing Helpers

Use decorators and helpers to easily trace specific methods or code blocks in Python

---

Organization

Organize your traces for better visibility and analysis:

Projects

Group traces by application or environment using projects

Sessions

Track multi-turn conversations by grouping related traces into sessions
