# Introducing Vercel Drains: Complete observability data, anywhere By Steven Van ยท 2025-09-15 Vercel's log drains are renamed Drains and now also export OpenTelemetry traces, Web Analytics, and Speed Insights on Pro and Enterprise plans. Vercel Log Drains are now [Vercel]() Drains, extended beyond logs to also export OpenTelemetry traces, Web Analytics events, and Speed Insights metrics through one pipeline. - **Logs**: runtime, build, static asset, firewall, and function logs. - **Traces**: distributed tracing data forwarded from deployments via OpenTelemetry, compatible with Datadog APM, Honeycomb, Grafana Tempo, New Relic, and other OTel vendors. - **Web Analytics**: page view and custom event data. - **Speed Insights**: real-user performance metrics and Web Vitals. Logs from traced requests are automatically enriched with a traceId and spanId, linking a log line to the distributed trace it belongs to. Drains come in two forms: custom drains to any HTTP endpoint, with a choice of data type, sampling rate, format (JSON, NDJSON, or Protobuf), and headers or signature verification; and integration drains with turnkey vendors including Dash0, Statsig, Datadog, and Logflare. Drains are available now on **Pro** and **Enterprise** plans, billed at **$0.50 per GB**, the same rate as existing log drains, with multiple drains configurable per team across projects. They can be set up from the Vercel dashboard under Team Settings โ†’ [Drains]().
