# Dify Tracing

> Configure your Dify application to view traces in Phoenix

## Launch Phoenix

<Card>
  <Tabs>
    <Tab title="Self-Host">
      Run Phoenix on your own infrastructure, backed by PostgreSQL so traces persist beyond a single process. This is the option to reach for once Phoenix is shared across a team or environment.

      The [self-hosting guide](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting) covers [Kubernetes](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/kubernetes), [Helm](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/kubernetes-helm), [Railway](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/railway), [AWS CloudFormation](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/aws-with-cloudformation), [Google Cloud Run](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/google-cloud-run), [Azure](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure), and [Render](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/render), plus authentication and configuration.
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Local">
      ```bash theme={null}
      uvx arize-phoenix serve
      ```

      No [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)? `pip install arize-phoenix && phoenix serve` does the same thing. See [Terminal setup](/docs/phoenix/environments#terminal) for customization.
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Container">
      ```bash theme={null}
      docker run -p 6006:6006 -p 4317:4317 arizephoenix/phoenix:latest
      ```

      Images are published to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/arizephoenix/phoenix). See [Docker](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/deployment-options/docker) for volumes, PostgreSQL, and other options.
    </Tab>
  </Tabs>

  Phoenix serves its UI and OTLP HTTP on port **6006**, and OTLP gRPC on port **4317**. For a local instance that's [http://localhost:6006](http://localhost:6006) — leave it running while you work.
</Card>

Dify connects to Phoenix over the network, so it needs the endpoint you just started — and an API key if the instance requires one.

<Note>
  Pointing at a deployment with [authentication](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/features/authentication) enabled? Set `PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT` to that deployment's hostname and `PHOENIX_API_KEY` to an API key from its **Settings** page. A local `phoenix serve` needs neither.
</Note>

## Connect Dify and Phoenix

To configure Phoenix tracing in your Dify application:

1. Open the Dify application you want to monitor.

2. In the left sidebar, navigate to **Monitoring**.

3. On the Monitoring page, select Phoenix in the Tracing drop down to begin setup.

4. Enter your Phoenix credentials and save. You can verify the monitoring status on the current page.
