Codex

Send OpenAI Codex CLI session traces to your Everstack instance.

Codex (OpenAI) exports OpenTelemetry via the [otel] table in ~/.codex/config.toml.

See Trace Coding Agents for the endpoints, API key, and what Everstack renders.

Configuration

[otel]
exporter = "otlp-http"
endpoint = "https://<your-instance>/v1/traces"
# headers are sent on every export
headers = { Authorization = "Bearer <your-api-key>" }

Codex's metrics exporter defaults to an internal sink, and OTLP coverage is uneven across subcommands — full in the interactive TUI, none in codex mcp-server. Confirm the exact keys against the Codex config reference for your version.

Notes

  • Codex emits token counts but no cost — Everstack computes it from your model-catalog pricing.
  • Codex groups a session under a conversation.id; Everstack treats that as the session grouping key.
