Track your Claude Code sessions, on your profile.

What gets tracked — and what never does

Claude Code has official OpenTelemetry support. With the config below, it sends DevLog numeric daily metrics only: sessions started, active coding time, lines added and removed, commits, pull requests, and token totals.

It never sends your prompts, your code, file names, or conversation content — those require separate logging settings this config does not enable. Disconnecting revokes your token and DevLog stops accepting data immediately.

Setup, step by step

1. Generate your token. On your dashboard, open Connect Accounts → Claude Code and click Connect Claude Code. Copy the config block it shows you — it already contains your personal token, so prefer it over the example below.
2. Open ~/.claude/settings.json. The .claude folder is hidden, so Spotlight and a normal Finder browse won't find it — use one of these instead:
   • Terminal (easiest) — creates the file if needed, then opens it:

     mkdir -p ~/.claude && touch ~/.claude/settings.json && open -e ~/.claude/settings.json

     VS Code users: code ~/.claude/settings.json
   • Finder — press Cmd+Shift+G, type ~/.claude, hit Enter.
   • Windows — paste %USERPROFILE%\.claude into the Explorer address bar, or run notepad %USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json.
3. Paste the config. If the file is empty or new, paste the whole block. If it already has content, merge these keys into your existing env object — don't create a second one. It looks like this:

   {
     "env": {
       "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
       "OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
       "OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "http/json",
       "OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "https://devlogg.co/api/otel",
       "OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS": "Authorization=Bearer <your-token>",
       "OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_TEMPORALITY_PREFERENCE": "delta"
     }
   }

4. Restart Claude Code. Settings are read at startup — quit any running session and start a new one.
5. Verify. Use Claude Code for a minute or two, then check your DevLog dashboard. Metrics export roughly every minute while a session is active; your first data point should appear shortly after you start working.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing shows up. Confirm all six env keys copied over, especially OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL: http/json — other protocols are rejected. Then make sure you restarted Claude Code after saving.
• Rotated your token? Rotating in the Connect Accounts dialog invalidates the old one — update the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS line with the new snippet.
• Multiple machines? Use the same config block on each — the token identifies you, not the machine, and everything rolls up into one daily total.
• Want to stop? Click Disconnect Account in the dialog, and optionally remove the env keys from settings.json.
