Get started

This guide takes you from an empty workspace to a live host in the console.

1. Create a workspace

1. Open console.sensobit.com and register.
2. Sensobit creates a personal namespace for the account. Every metric, log, trace, dashboard, and alert is scoped to that namespace.
3. Complete onboarding so the console knows which environment you are sending from.

2. Create an API key

1. In the console, open API Keys.
2. Click Create New Key, give it a name such as prod-linux-agent, and optionally set an expiry.
3. Copy the key immediately. Sensobit stores only a hash and cannot show the full value again.

Use the key as X-API-Key on ingest requests and as --api-key for the installer. See API keys and namespaces.

3. Install the agent

On a Linux host with curl and systemd:

curl -fsSL https://get.sensobit.com | sudo bash -s -- --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

The installer downloads sensobit-agent, writes /etc/sensobit/config.yaml with https://ingest.sensobit.com, and enables the sensobit-agent systemd unit.

Other install paths:

• Docker
• Kubernetes

4. Confirm data

sudo systemctl status sensobit-agent
sudo journalctl -u sensobit-agent -f
curl -fsS https://ingest.sensobit.com/health

Open Infrastructure in the console. The host typically appears within a minute with CPU, memory, disk, and network series.

5. Next steps

• Create a dashboard for the new host.
• Add an alert on system.cpu.usage_percent.
• Send application OTLP traces or RUM.
• Invite teammates from Team.
