This Guide Integrates:

🚧 OpenTelemetry metrics & tracing instrumentation coming soon!

Getting Started

Install HyperDX Logger Backend Package

The package can be installed by adding hyperdx to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:hyperdx, "~> 0.1.6"}
  ]
end

Configure Logger

Add the following to your config.exs file:

# config/releases.exs
 
config :logger,
  level: :info,
  backends: [:console, {Hyperdx.Backend, :hyperdx}]

Configure Environment Variables

Afterwards you'll need to configure the following environment variables in your shell to ship telemetry to HyperDX:

export HYPERDX_API_KEY='<YOUR_HYPERDX_API_KEY_HERE>' \
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME='<NAME_OF_YOUR_APP_OR_SERVICE>'

The OTEL_SERVICE_NAME environment variable is used to identify your service in the HyperDX app, it can be any name you want.

That's it. You should now be able to see your app logs by heading over to HyperDX (opens in a new tab)!
