5959## Sending telemetry to your own collector
6060
61Independently of what's sent to Anthropic, you can export session activity to your own OpenTelemetry collector by setting `otlpEndpoint`. This is the recommended way to retain an audit trail in environments that disable Anthropic-bound telemetry.
61Independently of what's sent to Anthropic, you can export session activity to your own OpenTelemetry collector by setting `otlpEndpoint`. This is the recommended way to retain an audit trail in environments that disable Anthropic-bound telemetry. The export isn't a complete record of a session; see [Content capture](#content-capture).
6262
6363For third-party deployments, the export includes session metadata (event names, durations, token counts, result counts, errors) by default, but not message content. It also identifies the signed-in user; see [User attribution](#user-attribution). Records of skill scans are an exception to leaving out message content. If you turn on [skill scanning](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/extensions.md#skill-scanning), the export also carries `custom3p_skill_scan_completed` records of scan results, and a record's summary can quote the skill. Claude Desktop sends the summary even when [content capture](#content-capture) (`otlpContentCapture`) is off. See [Monitoring](https://claude.com/docs/cowork/monitoring.md) for the event schema and the [`otlp*` keys](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#otlpendpoint) in the configuration reference.

123On Claude Desktop version 1.17377 or later, enabling `userPrompts` also captures model responses, even if `assistantResponses` is not listed. On those versions, no `otlpContentCapture` configuration captures user prompts without model responses.
123Your collector doesn't get a [`user_prompt`](https://claude.com/docs/cowork/monitoring#user-prompt-event) event for some messages that people send. Don't rely on content capture alone to keep what people type.
124
125On Claude Desktop 1.17377.1 or later, listing `userPrompts` also captures model responses by default, even if `assistantResponses` isn't listed.
126
127To capture user prompts and redact model response text, set `OTEL_LOG_ASSISTANT_RESPONSES` to `0` in the `env` block of [Claude Code's own managed settings](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/code.md#interaction-with-claude-code%E2%80%99s-own-managed-settings), and leave `rawApiBodies` out of `otlpContentCapture`. Each [`assistant_response`](https://claude.com/docs/cowork/monitoring#model-response-event) event still arrives, with `<REDACTED>` in place of the text. Requires Claude Desktop 2.37337.1 or later.
128
129Check these points before you deploy the setting:
130
131* **Where to set it**: in the highest-priority Claude Code managed settings on the device, not in a per-user Windows registry policy. See **More detail** under [`otlpContentCapture`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#otlpcontentcapture).
132* **No Claude Code managed settings on the device yet**: also set `parentSettingsBehavior` to `"merge"` in the settings you create, or Claude Code can drop the restrictions that Claude Desktop passes to it
133* **Background agents in Code sessions**: when an agent that Claude runs in the background finishes, Claude Code passes the agent's final response back to the conversation as a prompt. Your collector can receive that text in a `user_prompt` event, and on a trace span when [traces](#traces-beta) are on, even with the variable set to `0`. Cowork and Chat sessions don't run agents in the background.

125135Conversation titles arrive on the desktop application's own stream (`claude-desktop`) as a `desktop_session_title_set` event that carries each Cowork and Code session's title and the Claude Code `session.id` to join on. The event is exported only when [`otlpDesktopLogLevel`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#otlpdesktoploglevel) is `info` or `debug`, and the title text is included only when `otlpContentCapture` includes `userPrompts`. Requires Claude Desktop 1.44121.1 or later.
