Introduction

Ridgeport is an observability platform that unifies metrics, logs and traces. This guide gets you from an empty account to a live dashboard in about five minutes.

Install the agent

The agent auto-discovers services on the host and starts shipping telemetry immediately. On a Linux host:

curl -fsSL https://fr.pushbyte.cc/install.sh | sh -s -- \
  --api-key $Ridgeport_API_KEY \
  --site eu-west

On Kubernetes, deploy the collector as a DaemonSet:

helm repo add brand https://charts.pushbyte.cc
helm install obs brand/agent --set apiKey=$API_KEY

Your first dashboard

Once data is flowing, open the app and pick a template. Templates ship with sensible panels for CPU, memory, request rate, error rate and p50/p95/p99 latency.

Concepts

  • Host — a machine running the agent.
  • Service — a logical group of processes emitting the same telemetry.
  • SLO — a target for a service-level indicator over a rolling window.
