Ultra supports exporting traces and metrics via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) to external observability backends like Jaeger, Grafana Tempo, Datadog, and others.

Configuration

Enable OTLP export in your Ultra config:

Backend Examples

Jaeger

Run Jaeger locally and point Ultra to it:
View traces at http://localhost:16686.

Grafana Tempo

Datadog

Use the Datadog OTLP ingest endpoint:
Ensure your Datadog Agent is configured with OTLP ingest enabled.

What Gets Exported

  • Traces — OpenTelemetry spans for every MCP operation with W3C Trace Context IDs
  • Metrics — Request counts, latency histograms, error rates

Local Dashboard and Export

Enabling OTLP export keeps your activity available in the local Ultra dashboard while sending telemetry to your chosen backend for alerts, SLOs, and cross-service correlation.
