To directly send OpenTelemetry metrics and traces generated by OpenLIT from your AI Application to SigNoz, follow the below steps.

​
1. Get your Credentials

SigNoz configuration requires two values:
  1. SigNoz Endpoint: Your SigNoz instance endpoint URL
    • SigNoz Cloud: https://ingest.{region}.signoz.cloud:443
    • Self-Hosted: http://your-signoz-host:4318 (or your custom endpoint)
  2. Ingestion Key: Your SigNoz access token for authentication
    • SigNoz Cloud: Available in your SigNoz Cloud settings → Ingestion Keys
    • Self-Hosted: Set up according to your SigNoz deployment configuration
For SigNoz Cloud users, you can find your specific endpoint and ingestion key in your SigNoz Cloud dashboard under Settings → Ingestion Keys.

​
2. Instrument your application

For direct integration into your Python applications:
import openlit

openlit.init(
  otlp_endpoint="SIGNOZ_ENDPOINT", 
  otlp_headers="signoz-access-token=SIGNOZ_INGESTION_KEY"
)
Replace:
  1. SIGNOZ_ENDPOINT with your SigNoz endpoint URL.
    • Example: https://ingest.{region}.signoz.cloud:443
  2. SIGNOZ_INGESTION_KEY with the access token provided by SigNoz.
    • Example: 896cc137-xxxx-xxxx-b8a0-a6d7ab65f274
Refer to the OpenLIT Python SDK repository for more advanced configurations and use cases.
