Introduction

Getting Started

Metoro is explicitly designed to be super easy to get up and running with. We think that it should take < 5 minutes to get end-to-end observability for your services. Start your timer and let's get started!

Installation

  1. Head to Metoro and sign up with your email address.

  2. After you log in, follow the on-screen instructions to install Metoro on your cluster. You will be prompted to select a Kubernetes cluster for the Metoro Agent installation. You have two options:

    • Local Dev Cluster: This option sets up a local kubernetes cluster on your machine and installs Metoro into it. Choose this if you are starting a new project or simply trying out Metoro without installing it into a live cluster.
    • Existing Cluster: This option allows you to install Metoro on an existing Kubernetes cluster that is already running, whether in the cloud, on-premises, or elsewhere. Select this option if you are setting up Metoro for a production environment.
  3. Once you have selected your cluster, copy-paste the installation command into your terminal and hit enter.

  4. Once the installation is complete, you will see a success message in your terminal.

    It can take a couple of minutes for Metoro to receive your cluster's data.

    • If you are installing Metoro to a local dev cluster, this might take 5-10 minutes as it sets up the cluster.
    • If you are installing Metoro to an existing cluster, this will take 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once Metoro shows that it is receiving data, you can start exploring your cluster. You now have end-to-end telemetry. You should see the following screen.
