FAQPage Schema
How do I set up tracing for Claude Code sessions?

Set up Claude Code tracing by choosing a backend (Arize AX or Phoenix), collecting credentials, installing dependencies, and configuring project-local or global settings files to enable observability for your CLI workflows.

Can I use Arize or Phoenix to trace the Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can trace the Claude Agent SDK by configuring Arize AX or Phoenix backends, installing required dependencies, and setting up config files to enable observability for Python or TypeScript workflows.

What's the difference between configuring Arize AX and Phoenix for tracing?

Both backends enable Claude Code tracing, but require different credentials. You choose your preferred backend during setup, then collect the appropriate API keys or endpoint URLs to validate the connection and start logging.

Why is my Claude Code tracing not working after configuration?

Tracing issues often stem from incorrect credentials, missing dependencies, or misconfigured project-local files. Validate your connection, verify your Arize or Phoenix backend credentials, and review troubleshooting guidance.

Do I need an API key to enable tracing with Arize AX?

Yes, you need to collect your Arize API key and space ID to enable tracing. The setup process walks you through credential collection, dependency installation, and config file creation to establish a validated connection.
