Data Regions

Netra is available in two data regions:
RegionLocationAPI Endpoint
USN. Virginia (us-east-1)https://api.getnetra.ai/telemetry
EUFrankfurt (eu-central-1)https://api.eu.getnetra.ai/telemetry
Regions are strictly separated, and no data is shared across regions. Choosing a region close to you can help improve speed and comply with local data residency laws and privacy regulations. You can have accounts in multiple regions, but each region requires a separate subscription.

​
You’re all set to begin

Once you sign up and log in, you’re automatically part of a default organization with a default project ready to go. You can start instrumenting your AI application right away, or take a moment to organize your workspace first.
Want to keep things organized? Create separate projects to organize your work however makes sense for you — by environment, application, team, or any other structure. Or jump straight in with the default project — you can always restructure later.

​
Step 1: Choose your workspace (optional)

You can use the default project to get started immediately, or create a dedicated project for your application:
Projects are workspaces that help you organize observability data across different environments or applications.
  1. Go to Settings on the bottom left side of the screen
  2. Click on Projects under Organisation
  3. Click Create Project on the top right
  4. Give your project a name and click create
You can always switch between projects or create more as your needs evolve.

​
Step 2: Create your API key

Every request to Netra needs to be authenticated. Let’s generate your API key:
  1. Go to Settings → Project → API keys
  2. Click Create Secret Key
  3. Give your key a name and click Create Key
Copy and store this token securely — you won’t be able to see it again. This key authenticates all your API requests.

​
Step 3: Configure your environment

Add your API key and endpoint to your environment variables. Use the endpoint that matches your selected data region: 
export NETRA_OTLP_ENDPOINT="https://api.getnetra.ai/telemetry"
export NETRA_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

​
Step 4: Install the SDK

Install Netra in your environment with a single command: 
pip install netra-sdk

​
Step 5: Initialize Netra in your application

Add the following to your application to start capturing traces: 
from netra import Netra

# Initialize with default settings (uses environment variables)
Netra.init(app_name="Your application name")

# Or with custom configuration
api_key = "Your API key"
headers = f"x-api-key={api_key}"
Netra.init(
    app_name="Your application name",
    headers=headers,
    trace_content=True,
    environment="Your Application environment"
)

​
What’s next?

You’re now ready to start observing your AI application. The first step is to set up tracing — this captures all the data you’ll need for evaluations and alerts.

Setup Tracing

Start here — capture every LLM call, tool invocation, and decision your agent makes
 Once you have traces flowing, you can:

Run Evaluations

Measure quality, accuracy, and reliability of your traces

Configure Alerts

Get notified about anomalies, cost spikes, and issues
