Send your hosted database's logs, metrics and traces to Grafana, Datadog or any OTLP backend

Hosted Pixeltable databases can now export logs, metrics, and traces through OpenTelemetry to Grafana Cloud, Datadog, Pydantic Logfire, Honeycomb, New Relic, Axiom, or other OTLP-compatible endpoints while continuing to send data to CloudWatch for existing CLI tools. Users configure telemetry backends in database Settings or with `pxt secret set`, select organization-wide or database-specific scope, provide provider credentials and endpoints, and restart pods for changes to take effect. Each pod includes an OpenTelemetry Collector that enriches telemetry with protected database and Kubernetes resource attributes, filters health-probe logs, and captures traces for table operations and service requests, including model calls made by computed columns. All configured backends receive logs, metrics, and traces, although Datadog and Axiom have metrics limitations, and trace sampling is configurable per backend while always retaining error traces and traces lasting longer than one second. CloudWatch retention remains limited by plan, whereas external providers retain data according to their own policies; organizations without a separate observability platform may find CloudWatch sufficient, while self-hosted Pixeltable users should configure OpenTelemetry directly with `pxt_otel.init()`.
