Configuring Destination Fields

  • OBSERVE_CUSTOMER_ID string : Customer ID. The Customer ID is the first part of your Observe URL. For example, if your Observe URL is https://<customer_id>.observe.com, then the Customer ID is <customer_id>.
    • This field is required
  • OBSERVE_TOKEN string : Token. You can create a token in your Observe dashboard, under “Datastreams”.
    • This field is required

We handle the endpoint internally, so you don’t need to provide it.

  • The endpoint is https://${OBSERVE_CUSTOMER_ID}.collect.observeinc.com/v2/otel
