Our OpenTelemetry Webhook allows you to send your API monitoring data to any platform that supports OpenTelemetry, such as AWS, Azure, Datadog, & Splunk. APIContext is OTEL-native. Every monitoring result is an OpenTelemetry trace, ready to export to your existing observability stack.

Create an OpenTelemetry Webhook

In the sidebar, under Configure Monitoring, select Alerts & Webhooks (open it in the platform).
