# Seq
> Configuring the Seq backend (Self-Hosted)
### Getting Started
* [Deploy Seq into Kubernetes using Docker](https://docs.datalust.co/docs/getting-started-with-docker)
* [Deploy Seq into Kubernetes using Helm](https://docs.datalust.co/docs/using-helm)
### Configuring Destination Fields
✅ Traces
❌ Metrics
✅ Logs
❌ Profiles
* **SEQ\_ENDPOINT** `string` : OTLP HTTP Endpoint. The format is `http://host:port`, `host` is required and equals the cluster internal DNS record of the Seq instance, `port` is required and equals any of the exposed ports of the Seq instance (defaults to 5341), do not add the rest of the path `/ingest/otlp/v1/*`.
* This field is required
* **SEQ\_API\_KEY** `string` : API Key. The API key is generated in the Seq instance. The API key must have the `Ingest` permission.
* This field is optional
### Adding Destination to Odigos
There are two primary methods for configuring destinations in Odigos:
##### **Using the UI**
Use the [Odigos CLI](https://docs.odigos.io/cli/odigos_ui) to access the UI
```bash theme={null}
odigos ui
```
Click on `Add Destination`, select `Seq` and follow the on-screen instructions
##### **Using Kubernetes manifests**
Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. `seq.yaml`)
```yaml theme={null}
apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
kind: Destination
metadata:
name: seq-example
namespace: odigos-system
spec:
data:
SEQ_ENDPOINT:
destinationName: seq
# Uncomment the 'secretRef' below if you are using the optional Secret.
# secretRef:
# name: seq-secret
signals:
- TRACES
- LOGS
type: seq
---
# The following Secret is optional. Uncomment the entire block if you need to use it.
# apiVersion: v1
# data:
# SEQ_API_KEY:
# kind: Secret
# metadata:
# name: seq-secret
# namespace: odigos-system
# type: Opaque
```
Apply the YAML using `kubectl`
```bash theme={null}
kubectl apply -f seq.yaml
```
