Get Started
Getting Started
Get started with Metoro in under 5 minutes
Metoro offers two ways to set up and use the platform:
- Managed Cloud: Let us handle everything for you. We host and maintain the platform. You just need to install the Metoro Agent on your cluster.
- On-Prem: Host and manage Metoro entirely within your infrastructure for full control over your data and setup.
Compatibility
Metoro can run on any Kubernetes cluster, whether it is on-premises, in the cloud, or managed by a cloud provider. Metoro explicitly supports the following Kubernetes distributions for production use:
- AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) without GKE autopilot
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Bare-metal on-prem Kubernetes installations
- OpenShift clusters
Installation (Managed Cloud)
Metoro is 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. Start your timer and let’s get started!
- Head to the Metoro Webapp and sign up with your email address.
- 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:
- 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 an existing environment.
- 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 an existing cluster.
- Once you have selected your cluster, copy-paste the installation command into your terminal and hit enter. Make sure that your kubernetes context is set to the cluster you want to install Metoro into.
- 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 around a minute.
- 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:
