Configuration

Langfuse accepts OpenTelemetry traces. Configure an OTEL Collector to forward traces:

# otel-collector-config.yaml
receivers:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317

exporters:
  otlphttp:
    endpoint: https://cloud.langfuse.com/api/public/otel
    headers:
      Authorization: "Basic <base64-encoded-public-key:secret-key>"

service:
  pipelines:
    traces:
      receivers: [otlp]
      exporters: [otlphttp]

Configure Agent Gateway:

config:
  tracing:
    otlpEndpoint: http://localhost:4317
    randomSampling: true

binds:
- port: 3000
  listeners:
  - routes:
    - backends:
      - ai:
          name: openai
          provider:
            openAI:
              model: gpt-4o-mini
      policies:
        backendAuth:
          key: "$OPENAI_API_KEY"
