Render

Render supports Log Streams over syslog TLS. Obtrace receives these logs, converts them to OTLP, and correlates them with SDK traces and metrics.

Step 1: Configure Log Stream

In the Render dashboard:

1. Go to Workspace Settings → Integrations → Observability
2. Set Log Endpoint to: ingest.obtrace.ai:6514
3. Set Token to your Obtrace API key (obt_live_...)
4. Save

All services in your workspace will start streaming logs to Obtrace.

Alternative: Setup script

export RENDER_API_KEY=rnd_xxxxx
./render-setup.sh obt_live_xxxxx

Step 2: Add environment variables

In your Render service settings, add:

Or via Render Blueprint (render.yaml):

services:
  - type: web
    name: my-api
    env: node
    envVars:
      - key: OBTRACE_API_KEY
        sync: false
      - key: OBTRACE_PLATFORM
        value: render

Step 3: Add the SDK (optional)

npm install @obtrace/sdk-js

import { initNodeSDK } from "@obtrace/sdk-js/node";
 
const sdk = initNodeSDK({
  apiKey: process.env.OBTRACE_API_KEY!,
  serviceName: "my-render-service",
});

What you get

• Without SDK: All application logs streamed via syslog
• With SDK: Full traces, custom spans, runtime metrics, exception tracking, distributed context propagation
