What problem does it solve?

PostHog logs for Other Languages enables teams to ingest and standardize logs from applications written in languages outside the core PostHog ecosystem, centralizing observability in PostHog Logs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides for installing and configuring OTLP-based logging for languages like Python, Node.js, Go, Java, and more.
  • Troubleshooting and best practices to ensure structured logging, proper trace correlation, and secure token usage.
  • Use Case: A multilingual microservice stack emits OTLP logs to PostHog, enabling cross-service search and correlation with product analytics.

Quick Start

Configure your OpenTelemetry client to export logs to PostHog via OTLP using the provided endpoint and project token.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ingest OpenTelemetry logs into PostHog for a non-standard language?

To ingest OpenTelemetry logs into PostHog, configure your OTLP client to export logs to the PostHog endpoint using your project token. This standardizes logs from languages outside the core ecosystem into PostHog Logs.

Does PostHog logs support OTLP export for backend services like Python, Node.js, or Go?

Yes, PostHog logs supports OTLP export for backend services like Python, Node.js, Go, and Java. It provides installation and configuration guides to route logs from these languages directly into PostHog.

What structured log attributes do I need to configure for PostHog logs?

You need to adopt structured log attributes such as service.name and trace or session context. Ensuring proper trace correlation and secure token usage helps standardize logs effectively within PostHog.

Why are my OTLP logs not appearing in PostHog logs?

OTLP logs may not appear in PostHog logs due to incorrect endpoint configuration or missing project token authentication. Troubleshooting involves verifying your OpenTelemetry client setup and ensuring structured log attributes are properly exported.

Can I correlate logs with product analytics in a multilingual microservice stack?

Yes, a multilingual microservice stack emitting OTLP logs to PostHog enables cross-service search and correlation with product analytics. This centralizes observability by linking backend logs to trace and session context.

When do I need OTLP export for PostHog logs?

You need OTLP export for PostHog logs when centralizing observability for applications written outside the core PostHog ecosystem. It allows any backend service using OpenTelemetry to standardize and ingest logs.
