Before you begin
Make sure you have:- A Tracer account - you can create one at app.tracer.cloud/sign-up
- Access credentials for the tools you want to connect
- Permissions to create API keys
Connect integrations
We recommend connecting the following tools: Observability. Tracer reads your logs, metrics, traces, and alerts to build investigation hypotheses. Connect Grafana and Prometheus. Infrastructure. Tracer maps your environment and dependencies across clouds and clusters. Connect AWS. Communication. Tracer delivers investigation reports where your team already works. Connect Slack. Knowledge. Tracer references your runbooks, investigation guides, and architecture docs so it knows your systems the way your team does. Upload docs from your device.
Configure integrations
Each integration follows a simple, guided flow. Let’s look at Datadog as an example.- Name - Helps distinguish between different instances
- API Key - in Datadog, create a new API key and copy and paste into Tracer.
- Application Key - In Datadog, create a new Application Key and copy and paste into Tracer.
