Export to Grafana Cloud

Last updated Oct 2, 2026 Grafana Cloud provides visualization, alerting, and telemetry analytics. It accepts Cloudflare telemetry through the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP).

Export Cloudflare traces to Grafana Tempo and logs to Grafana Loki.

This guide configures Grafana Cloud to receive Cloudflare traces and logs.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need an active Grafana Cloud account ↗︎. You also need Cloudflare logs or traces to export.

1. Get your OpenTelemetry credentials

  1. Log in to the Grafana Cloud portal ↗︎.
  2. From your organization home page, go to Connections > Add new connection.
  3. Search for OpenTelemetry, then select OpenTelemetry (OTLP).
  4. Select Quickstart, then select JavaScript.
  5. Select Create a new token.
  6. Enter a token name, such as cloudflare-otel.
  7. Select Create token, then select Close.
  8. Copy the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT value from Environment variables.
  9. Copy the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS value from the same block.

2. Configure Cloudflare Observability destinations

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Observability > Destinations. Go to OpenTelemetry ↗
  2. Select Add destination.
  3. Enter a descriptive destination name, such as grafana-traces.
  4. For Destination type, select Traces or Logs. Create a separate destination for each type you export.
  5. Enter the Grafana OTLP endpoint for your telemetry type:
  6. Traces: Append /v1/traces to the endpoint.
  7. Logs: Append /v1/logs to the endpoint.
  8. Add the Grafana authentication header:
  9. Header name: Authorization
  10. Header value: The Basic authentication value from Grafana
  11. Select Save.

The endpoint resembles https://otlp-gateway-prod-us-east-2.grafana.net/otlp.

3. Enable export

Creating a destination does not start exporting telemetry. To export Workers Logs or Workers Traces, configure OpenTelemetry export for your Worker. To export Cloudflare Traces, configure export for your domain.

Data may take several minutes to appear in Grafana Cloud.
