# Exporting Traces to Dash0

> Learn how to export traces from Checkly to Dash0.

1. Create an API key in the **Settings** > **Auth Tokens** section.

   ![Generate an auth token](https://mintcdn.com/checkly-422f444a/WJFfxOuqqqZjE4cw/images/docs/images/otel/export-traces/dash0-token.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=WJFfxOuqqqZjE4cw\&q=85\&s=2f6518e3ea6f20755faed20d089eae14)
2. Grab the right endpoint URL for your Dash0 organization from the **Settings** > **Endpoints** section. It should look like `https://ingress.eu-west-1.aws.dash0.com/v1/traces`.
   Make sure it ends with `/v1/traces/`
3. Add the endpoint and the auth token to the Checkly integration settings. The auth token is added as an HTTP header named
   `Authorization` with the value of `Bearer ` and your auth token.

   ![Fill in the values into Checkly](https://mintcdn.com/checkly-422f444a/WJFfxOuqqqZjE4cw/images/docs/images/otel/export-traces/dash0-checkly.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=WJFfxOuqqqZjE4cw\&q=85\&s=0fecfe46bcab51c185dcd402f71d9c21)
4. Observe Spans appearing in Dash0 on the `Tracing` tab.
