EvanDataForge releases compact OTLP trace dashboard as single PHP file with sorting, full-text search and cost tracking.
Simple Trace Analysis with Minimal Setup
Developer EvanDataForge has released OTLP-Webhook-Logger v1, a new tool for analyzing OpenTelemetry traces. The special feature: All functionality is contained in a single PHP file, which greatly simplifies deployment and use.
Detailed Feature Set
The dashboard allows display and sorting of spans, the individual sections of a distributed application. Users can search for specific traces or content using full-text search. A special feature is the chat bubble rendering function, which allows visual representation of chat interactions. In addition, costs for API calls or similar services can be tracked.
Filters and Configuration
For targeted analysis, filters for cron jobs and heartbeat messages are available. These help to display only relevant traces and keep the dashboard clear. Since no external libraries like Composer are required, the tool can be used on almost any system with PHP support.

The application is available on GitHub at github.com/EvanDataForge/otlp-webhook-logger. The compact design and lack of dependencies make it particularly attractive for developers who need quick and uncomplicated trace visualization.
Technical Classification
OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) is a standard for exchanging telemetry data. The logger serves as a receiver for such data and presents it in a clear format. Integration into existing workflows is extremely simple due to the easy installation.
