Vercel says its Daemons can now send OpenTelemetry traces to Vercel Tracing, letting developers and agents inspect background worker operations alongside other traces from the same project.

For Node.js daemons, upgrading @vercel/otel to version 2.3.0 or later enables automatic export with the default configuration. The SDK detects a Unix socket supplied by Vercel and sends the worker's recorded spans through it. Developers must initialize OpenTelemetry before the worker starts. The Vercel CLI can search these spans by service name within a project and return JSON for agents.
