Instrument Your Application¶

Subscription required

This section describes functionality which requires an active DeepCube subscription. Start your subscription by choosing the plan right for you.

Send traces, metrics, and logs from your application to DeepCube using standard OpenTelemetry. No proprietary SDKs required - use the same open-source libraries the industry relies on.

Quick Configuration¶

All you need is your OTLP endpoint and API key:

Setting	Value
Endpoint	`https://otlp.deepcube.ai`
Protocol	`grpc` (default) or `http/protobuf`
API Key Header	`api-key: YOUR-API-KEY`

Get your API key by logging in at portal.deepcube.ai, then go to Administration > Grids and click Instrument on your Grid.

Environment Variables¶

The fastest way to configure any OpenTelemetry SDK is with environment variables. These work across all languages:

Variable	Value	Description
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`	`https://otlp.deepcube.ai`	OTLP collector endpoint
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS`	`api-key=YOUR-API-KEY`	Authentication header
`OTEL_SERVICE_NAME`	`your-service-name`	Identifies your service in DeepCube

Quick Start by Language¶

// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry()
    .WithTracing(tracing => tracing
        .AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation()
        .AddHttpClientInstrumentation()
        .AddOtlpExporter(options =>
        {
            options.Endpoint =
