Quick start

Get telemetry flowing into InfraSage in under 5 minutes.

There are 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

Start here unless you have a reason not to. It is the right choice 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.

Step 2: create an API key

Once you are logged in:

1. Go to Settings → API Keys
2. Click Create Key
3. Give it a name (e.g. production-ingest) and pick the scope you need
4. Copy the key. It is shown once and never again.

Your ingestion endpoint is 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: look at your data

Go back to console.infrasage.dev and open the Dashboard. Your metrics show up as they arrive. Anomaly detection starts on its own within 60 seconds of data flowing in.

Step 5: connect your stack

Now point your real telemetry sources at InfraSage:

• OpenTelemetry: configure your OTEL Collector
• Prometheus: set up the OTEL Collector
• AWS CloudWatch: poll CloudWatch metrics
• Kubernetes: ingest cluster events and pod metrics

Option B: self-hosted

A self-hosted deployment runs the full InfraSage stack inside your own cloud account, so the data stays where you put it and everything runs within your existing network perimeter.

Prerequisites

• An active InfraSage license (contact [email protected])
• Access to the InfraSage artifact registry (credentials come with your license)
• A Kubernetes cluster (K8S 1.25+) or equivalent container runtime

Getting started

1. Request a license. Email [email protected] or ask through console.infrasage.dev
2. Receive artifacts. You get access to signed container images and deployment manifests through the InfraSage private registry
3. Deploy. Follow the self-hosted installation guide
4. Activate. Apply your license key during setup and connect to InfraSage's activation service

:::tip Evaluating InfraSage? For a proof of concept, the fastest path is signing up for the Cloud plan. There is no infrastructure to set up, and you can send real production metrics within minutes. :::
