Step 1: Run the Observability Agent

The Observability Agent provides you with the necessary tools and insights to effectively monitor, manage, and optimize your applications, leading to improved reliability, performance, and user experience.

Run via Docker

Run the following command, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key and adjusting the environment variables as needed: 

docker run --env otel_collection=true --env api_key=YOUR_API_KEY --env ENV_VARIABLE=VALUE --env  mysql_connection_string=root:my-secret-pw@(mysql:3306)/ intergral/observability-agent:latest

Info

Docker automatically pulls the latest version of the Observability Agent image from the Dockerhub repository.

Log collection and other databases can be enabled by setting the appropriate environment variables.

Run via Docker Compose

services:


  #database
  mysql:
    image: mysql:latest
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw

  #agent
  agent:
    image: intergral/observability-agent:latest
    environment:
      - api_key=1234567890
      - otel_collection=true
      - mysql_connection_string=root:my-secret-pw@(mysql:3306)/
    ports:

Log collection and other databases can be enabled by setting the appropriate environment variables.

Step 2: Instrument OpenTelemetry

Instrument your code to support OpenTelemetry on your application (Node.js, Python, Go etc).

OpenTelemetry

Configure the endpoint of the OTel application to the Observability Agent at "otel-collector:4317" or "otel-collector:4318" of your machine (depending on whether you're using gRPC or HTTP)s. This ships telemetry data to the Observability Agent, which does the cloud shipping for you.

Note

It is possible to use a dedicated OTel collector or alternative if required, but the Observability Agent is the simplest method for shipping telemetry data.
