ObserveNow

ObserveNow is StackGen’s managed observability stack. It brings your metrics, logs, and traces into one place so you can monitor systems, troubleshoot incidents, and explore telemetry with familiar tools (including Grafana, Jaeger, VictoriaMetrics, and Pyroscope).

You run or connect agents to send data into your instance, then use the bundled UIs for dashboards, queries, and distributed tracing. ObserveNow is available as a hosted option or for self-hosted deployment, depending on your organization’s needs.

Quickstart

Spin up an instance, open Grafana and related apps, and confirm you can reach your stack.

• Launch an instance
  Create an ObserveNow stack from the Admin Console and get endpoints for Grafana, Jaeger, VMUI, and Pyroscope.

• Access your stack
  Open each app from the Apps tab, sign in to Grafana, and see how telemetry will appear as you connect agents.

Telemetry and agents

Understand how data flows in, install collectors, and keep metadata consistent across services.

• Collecting telemetry
  How metrics, logs, and traces move into ObserveNow and what to plan before you deploy agents widely.

• Install the agent
  Deploy the StackGen agent on hosts or Kubernetes to scrape and forward observability data.

• Standard metadata
  Use consistent labels and metadata so dashboards, alerts, and queries stay usable at scale.

Integrations

Instrument applications, infrastructure, and cloud platforms using the integration library.

• Kubernetes
  Collect cluster and workload telemetry with the Kubernetes agent and related exporters.

• Applications
  Start from language guides such as Java, Go, Python, Node, and OpenTelemetry on Kubernetes.

• Cloud providers
  Connect AWS, GCP, Azure, and managed services so cloud metrics and logs land in ObserveNow.

Operate and visualize

Tune alerting, explore data in Grafana, and manage shared dashboards for your teams.

• Alerting
  Configure alert rules, contact points, notification policies, and silences.

• Visualization
  Learn how ObserveNow surfaces metrics, logs, and traces in the built-in UIs.

• Dashboards
  Manage Grafana dashboards, sharing, and variables for your organization.

Enterprise configuration

Harden access and delivery for Grafana and related services in your organization.

• Azure AD (OAuth2)
  Sign in to Grafana with Azure AD using OAuth2.

• LDAP
  Integrate directory authentication for Grafana.

• SMTP
  Send mail from Grafana for invites, alerts, and notifications.

Deployment options

Choose SaaS, private SaaS, or self-hosted deployment to match your security and data residency needs.

• Compare options
  SaaS on StackGen Cloud, private SaaS on your cloud, or self-hosted clusters.

• Self-hosted installation
  Install and configure ObserveNow on infrastructure you control.
