What is the difference between Phoenix and Arize AX?

Phoenix is a self-hosted, local-first observability tool for rapid development, while Arize AX is a cloud-based or on-prem enterprise platform for long-term LLM monitoring and evaluation.

Do I need to install additional dependencies?

For Arize AX (cloud), you must install 'opentelemetry-proto' and 'grpcio' via pip to facilitate gRPC data transmission.

Where are my tracing credentials stored?

Settings are saved in the standard Claude configuration directory, specifically in ~/.claude/settings.json for global use or .claude/settings.local.json for project-specific needs.

Does this skill work with the Python Agent SDK?

Yes, it provides specific code snippets and configuration steps to integrate tracing into both Python and TypeScript versions of the Claude Agent SDK.

How can I verify the tracing setup is working?

You can set ARIZE_DRY_RUN=true in your settings to verify that hooks are firing without sending data, and check the logs located at /tmp/arize-claude-code.log.
