### 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 `SignalFx` and follow the on-screen instructions
  </Step>
</Steps>

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

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

    ```yaml theme={null}
    apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Destination
    metadata:
      name: signalfx-example
      namespace: odigos-system
    spec:
      data:
        SIGNALFX_REALM: <Realm>
        # Note: The commented fields below are optional.
        # SIGNALFX_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY: <Skip TLS Verification>
      destinationName: signalfx
      # Uncomment the 'secretRef' below if you are using the optional Secret.
      # secretRef:
      #   name: signalfx-secret
      signals:
      - TRACES
      - METRICS
      type: signalfx

    ---

    # The following Secret is optional. Uncomment the entire block if you need to use it.
    # apiVersion: v1
    # data:
    #   SIGNALFX_ACCESS_TOKEN: <Base64 Access Token>
    #   SIGNALFX_CA_PEM: <Base64 CA Certificate (PEM)>
    # kind: Secret
    # metadata:
    #   name: signalfx-secret
    #   namespace: odigos-system
    # type: Opaque
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Apply the YAML using `kubectl`

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