Send Node.js application data to Observe

This page describes how to install the Observe Agent, then instrument your Node.js applications to send data to Observe.

To view the list of auto-instrumented libraries, see utils.ts in the OpenTelemetry documentation on GitHub.

To manually instrument custom logic, see Manual instrumentation setup in the OpenTelemetry documentation.

Perform the following tasks to send your Node.js application data to Observe.

1. From the left navigation rail, select Data & integrations > Add data.
2. In the Observe Agent section, pick your environment, then follow the instructions to create a data ingest token and install the Observe Agent.

3. After the Observe Agent is installed in your environment, instrument your Node.js application. Click one of the following:

• Instrument your Node.js application on a host
• Instrument your Node.js application in Kubernetes

4. (Optional) If needed, you can troubleshoot your APM instrumentation.
