Getting Started
Create your workspace, choose an integration path, and send your first operational signal to Anosys. This guide starts with a simple pixel and points you to OpenTelemetry, REST, JavaScript, SDK, and file-based options when you are ready.
Step 1 — Create Your Account
Sign up at console.anosys.ai and create your workspace. No credit card is required for the 7-day free trial.
Step 2 — Create an Ingestion Channel
An ingestion channel is your data endpoint. Each channel has a unique URL and API key that you use to send data to Anosys.
- In the Anosys Console, create a new ingestion channel.
- Use the tabs at the top of the channel to choose your integration method:
| Tab | Use Case |
|---|---|
| API | Create and manage API keys for SDK integrations |
| GET | Raw URL, image pixel, advanced script, custom mapping, or cURL |
| POST | POST API calls with JSON body |
| OTEL | OpenTelemetry endpoints (Generic, Traces, Logs, Metrics) |
- Copy your API key (from the API tab) and endpoint URL — you'll need them in the next step.
Step 3 — Send Your First Data
Choose the integration that fits your workflow:
Quick Start — REST API
The fastest way to verify your setup. Send a simple HTTP request with custom parameters:
Python:
cURL POST:
cURL GET:
If you receive a success response, your data is flowing and will appear in the Anosys dashboards within seconds.
AI Agent Workflows
For AI-specific observability with richer tracing:
- OpenAI Agents — auto-instrument the OpenAI Python & JS SDKs in a few lines of code → OpenAI Agents Guide
- Claude Code — one-command SDK hook installation for full session observability → Claude Code Guide
- Claude Code (OTEL-only) — zero-code setup via a JSON config file → Anthropic Agents Guide
Other Integrations
For OpenTelemetry, JavaScript, image pixels, decorators, REST events, and bulk ingestion, see the HTTP, OTEL, JavaScript, pixel, and file ingestion reference.
Step 4 — Explore Your Data
Once data is flowing, head to the Anosys Console to:
- View traces — drill into individual requests and agent sessions
- Build dashboards — create charts and tables for any ingested metric
- Set up alerts — get notified in Slack or email when anomalies are detected
- Run analysis — use built-in ML models for anomaly detection and root cause analysis
