  • Chronosphere Company Domain - Your company domain can be found in the URL of the Chronosphere UI. For example, if your URL is https://demo-sandbox.chronosphere.io/, then your company domain is demo-sandbox.

  • API Token - To create your API token for sending data from odigos to Chronosphere, you should login to your Chronosphere admin account click the Platform menu on the left side of the screen, then click Service Accounts and create a new service account.
