# OTel Integration (Analytics Data)

Portkey supports sending your Analytics data to OpenTelemetry (OTel) compatible collectors, allowing you to integrate Portkey's analytics with your existing observability infrastructure.

## Overview

While Portkey leverages Clickhouse as the primary Analytics Store for the Control Panel by default, enterprise customers can integrate Portkey's analytics data with their existing data infrastructure through OpenTelemetry.

## Configuration

Portkey supports pushing your analytics data to an OTel compatible endpoint. The following environment variables are needed for pushing to OTel:

```yaml theme={"system"}
OTEL_PUSH_ENABLED: true
OTEL_ENDPOINT: http://localhost:4318
```

Additionally, you can configure arbitrary resource attributes of the OTel logs by setting a comma-separated value for `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES`:

```
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES: ApplicationShortName=gateway,AssetId=12323,deployment.service=production
```

## Integration Options

Enterprise customers commonly use these analytics exports with:

* **Datadog**: Monitor and analyze your AI operations alongside other application metrics
* **AWS S3**: Store analytics data for long-term retention and analysis
* **Other OTel-compatible systems**: Any system that can ingest OpenTelemetry data can be used with this feature

## Use Cases

This feature enables:

* Centralized observability across your entire tech stack
* Long-term storage of analytics data
* Custom analytics dashboards in your preferred tools
* Integration with existing alerting systems
