The onboarding wizard runs automatically after you create a new organization. It guides you through the three steps needed to get Obsy working.

​
Step 1 — Name your organization

Your organization name is used across Obsy:
  • In the UI header
  • As the default slug for your public status page (e.g. status.obsy.ai/my-company)
  • In Slack notifications
You can change the name later in Settings → Organization.

​
Step 2 — Connect an observability platform

Connect at least one platform so Obsy can read collector health metrics and create dashboards and monitors. Datadog
  1. In Datadog, go to Organization Settings → API Keys and create a new key.
  2. Go to Organization Settings → Application Keys and create an application key.
  3. Paste both keys in the Obsy wizard.
Grafana Cloud
  1. In Grafana Cloud, open your stack and go to Security → API Keys.
  2. Create a key with MetricsPublisher and Editor roles.
  3. Copy your Grafana instance URL (e.g. https://myorg.grafana.net) and the key into Obsy.
You can connect more platforms later from Integrations.

​
Step 3 — Add your first cluster

  1. Give the cluster a display name (e.g. production-us-east).
  2. Paste your kubeconfig or provide the API server URL and service account token.
Obsy stores credentials encrypted at rest and never stores them in plaintext.

Skipping steps

Each step has a Skip for now option. You can complete any step later:
  • Add a cluster: Clusters → Add cluster
  • Connect a platform: Integrations
  • Change org name: Settings → Organization
Onboarding completion is saved to your account, so completing it in one browser marks it complete everywhere.
