Make Claude Code Observable and Safe with OpenTelemetry + SigNoz
Overview
A practitioner instrumented Claude Code with OpenTelemetry and pushed traces to an OTEL backend (SigNoz), exposing metrics like tool calls, latency, errors/retries, token usage, and cost over time. Community videos highlight powerful autonomous workflows but also risks of destructive actions, underscoring the need for observability plus guardrails (Git gating, dry runs, and approvals).
