Send your first signal

Sending data is a bigger topic than fits on this page, and it depends on what your app is written in, so it has its own section: Instrument your app.

Pick your language there, and, if one is listed, your framework. Each guide walks through installing the SDK, configuring it with an ingestion token from up0 tokens create, and sending logs, traces and metrics, ending with a verification step that shows what "it worked" looks like.

Already running an OpenTelemetry Collector of your own? Instrument your app also covers pointing an existing Collector at upzero instead of adding an SDK.

What's next

Once data is flowing, create your first monitor to check something from the outside as well.
