Add Foam to your pipeline

If your services are already sending traces, logs, or metrics through an OpenTelemetry collector, Datadog agent, FluentBit, or anything that speaks OTLP, add Foam as a second destination. Your existing setup stays exactly as-is. Foam runs alongside it.

OpenTelemetry Collector

Add Foam as an exporter in your collector config alongside other collectors:

exporters:
  otlphttp/foam:
    endpoint: https://otel.api.foam.ai
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer ${FOAM_API_KEY}"

service:
  pipelines:
    traces:
      exporters: [otlphttp/foam, <your-existing-exporter>]
    logs:
      exporters: [otlphttp/foam, <your-existing-exporter>]
    metrics:
      exporters: [otlphttp/foam, <your-existing-exporter>]

Environment variables

If your app exports OTLP directly (no collector):

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://otel.api.foam.ai
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS=Authorization=Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>
