### Adding Destination to Odigos

There are two primary methods for configuring destinations in Odigos:

##### **Using the UI**

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Use the [Odigos CLI](https://docs.odigos.io/cli/odigos_ui) to access the UI

    ```bash theme={null}
    odigos ui
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click on `Add Destination`, select `OpenObserve` and follow the on-screen instructions
  </Step>
</Steps>

##### **Using Kubernetes manifests**

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. `openobserve.yaml`)

    ```yaml theme={null}
    apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Destination
    metadata:
      name: openobserve-example
      namespace: odigos-system
    spec:
      data:
        OPEN_OBSERVE_ENDPOINT: <OTLP HTTP Endpoint>
        OPEN_OBSERVE_STREAM_NAME: '<Stream Name (default: default)>'
      destinationName: openobserve
      secretRef:
        name: openobserve-secret
      signals:
      - TRACES
      - LOGS
      type: openobserve

    ---

    apiVersion: v1
    data:
      OPEN_OBSERVE_API_KEY: <Base64 API Key>
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: openobserve-secret
      namespace: odigos-system
    type: Opaque
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Apply the YAML using `kubectl`

    ```bash theme={null}
    kubectl apply -f openobserve.yaml
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
