Quick Start
Get telemetry flowing into InfraSage in under 5 minutes.
InfraSage is available in two modes — pick the one that fits your situation:
| Cloud (Hosted) | Self-Hosted | |
|---|---|---|
| Who manages the infrastructure? | InfraSage | Your team |
| How to start? | Sign up at console.infrasage.dev | Contact us for a license and artifacts |
| Best for | POCs, teams, production with no infra overhead | Regulated environments, custom data residency |
Option A — Cloud (Recommended for Most Teams)
Step 1 — Create Your Account
Go to console.infrasage.dev and sign up. The Free plan is available immediately — no credit card required.
Step 2 — Create an API Key
Once logged in:
- Navigate to Settings → API Keys
- Click Create Key
- Give it a name (e.g.,
production-ingest) and select the appropriate scope - Copy the key — it will only be shown once
Your ingestion endpoint is displayed in the console under Settings → Ingestion.
Step 3 — Send Your First Telemetry
Replace <YOUR_API_KEY> and <YOUR_INGESTION_URL> with the values from your console:
curl -X POST https://<YOUR_INGESTION_URL>/api/v1/telemetry \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
-d '{
"service_id": "my-first-service",
"metric_name": "request_latency_ms",
"value": 142.5,
"timestamp": "'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"
}'
Expected response:
{"status":"ok","queued":1}
Step 4 — View Your Data
Return to console.infrasage.dev and open the Dashboard. Your ingested metrics appear in real time. Anomaly detection starts automatically within 60 seconds of data flowing in.
Step 5 — Connect Your Stack
You're ready to point your real telemetry sources at InfraSage:
- OpenTelemetry — Configure your OTEL Collector
- Prometheus — Set up remote-write
- AWS CloudWatch — Poll CloudWatch metrics
- Kubernetes — Ingest cluster events and pod metrics
Option B — Self-Hosted
Self-hosted deployments run the full InfraSage stack inside your own cloud account. This gives you complete data residency control and lets you run within your existing network perimeter.
Prerequisites
- An active InfraSage license (contact [email protected])
- Access to the InfraSage artifact registry (credentials provided with your license)
- A Kubernetes cluster (K8S 1.25+) or equivalent container runtime
Getting Started
- Request a license — email [email protected] or reach out through console.infrasage.dev
- Receive artifacts — you'll get access to signed container images and deployment manifests via the InfraSage private registry
- Deploy — follow the Self-Hosted Installation guide for step-by-step instructions
- Activate — apply your license key during setup and connect to InfraSage's activation service
