Usage from outside?

[Heezer]

Hi guys and great work first! 😄
Maybe stupid question, but still relevant for me 😄 Do you support the span JSON files coming from outside? Can you read them and import?
The background is to generate telemetry data from a non Python environment, my case is Java.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Alexey

hey @Heezer ! So in theory yes, phoenix can be launched and mounted on a TraceDataset (https://docs.arize.com/phoenix/api/dataset-and-schema#phoenix.tracedataset) - the long term goal of the project will be to have instrumentation and tracers for more runtimes but right now we only have python ones. 😓

Will try to keep this discussion going as support for different languages emerge and we embark on supporting more than just python. Thanks for your interest in the language!

Hi @mikeldking, thanks for your reply!

The background of my question is - we're looking in our Java AI lib langchain4j to support LLM observability and tracing. But I'm not a python guy, so I'm still curious how the integration with Phoenix could happen.

I would appreciate any example here. 🙏 Thanks a lot in advance!!

@Heezer update for you - we've started moving our instrumentation over to a monorepo that could house Java instrumentation (https://github.com/Arize-ai/openinference) - Phoenix now supports OTEL via OTLP so you can send traces to phoenix using OTEL! Stay tuned.

@mikeldking thanks a lot for update!
