Claude Platform Now Supports Native OpenTelemetry Observability in Databricks MLflow
Databricks, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
Databricks MLflow is now a supported destination for native OpenTelemetry trace export from the Claude Platform.
Databricks announced that developers using the Anthropic SDKs, the Messages API and Managed Agents can send native OpenTelemetry traces from the Claude Platform to Databricks MLflow to debug agents and evaluate changes.
Traces record agent execution as spans such as model requests and tool calls, which Databricks ingests through Zerobus Ingest and stores in Unity Catalog tables linked to an MLflow experiment.
Unity Catalog governs access to the trace data, which can also be queried with SQL, while Zerobus provides low-latency ingestion at high volume.
The post outlines setup steps and notes that Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK can send traces to the same destination.
