Identity and Access Management (IAM):
If you have activated IAM, you may need certain IAM permissions to carry out some actions described on this page. This means:
- you are the Owner of the Scaleway Organization in which the actions will be carried out, or
- you are an IAM user of the Organization, with a policy granting you the necessary permission sets
Requirements:
- You have an account and are logged into the Scaleway Console
- You have activated your Cockpit
-
Click Cockpit in the Observability section of the console side menu. The Cockpit overview page displays.
-
Check Metrics and Logs for the Push permission when selecting your token permissions, so your token can write logs and metrics.
Important:Once you have created your token, your secret key displays only once. Make sure you copy and save it before you exit the page.
-
Configure your applications to send metrics and logs to your Cockpit endpoints, using your newly-created token for authentication.
-
Create your Grafana dashboard and start monitoring your data.
