Settings

The Workspace Settings menu allows you to review or configure Observe’s settings.

Workspace Settings

  • Workspace Name and Icon - Click the Pencil icon to change the name of the workspace. Click the icon to select a new icon; use the type-ahead search window to find a good image.

  • Default time zone - Observe displays dates and times in the user’s browser’s time zone by default. To override this behavior, select a timezone here. For example, one user might see Pacific Daylight Time, while another might see Mountain Daylight Time, based on their browser settings. By setting this option to Eastern Daylight Time, an administrator can override behavior for all users.

  • Run query methods - Alters the behavior of Auto-run in Explorers and Worksheets for all users. The default is Defaults to “Manual”, which optimizes for lower credit usage but allows Auto-run to be used if a user wants it. Set to Defaults to “Auto-run” to have all Explorer and Worksheet usage use Auto-run by default. You can also set it to Don’t allow “Auto-run” to prevent Auto-run ever being selected.

Instance Settings

  • New User Group - Select the default New User Group to add new users when you create them. Add users to one of the following groups:

    • reader (default)

    • writer

    • admin

  • Allow login autocomplete - Defaults to true. Allows browser autocomplete on the customer login page.

  • Support Login - Previously, when an Observe Support Engineer detected a problem in a customer instance, they would escalate the issue to the account management team, and the account team would manage the resolution with Observe’s Support & Engineering teams. This can introduce delays and potentially slow the resolution of a customer issue. With the addition of the Support Login setting in Workspace settings, administrators for all customers can proactively approve credentialed and audited access for a Support Engineer. Once this account has been initiated, there is an audit trail of every action tied to your Observe account and the stored data. The account also expires unconditionally and must be renewed after 8 hours.

  • Enable ObserveAI Features - Enable O11y Copilot. This feature helps you to write OPAL inside the Observe editor. OpenAI services are not used. Defaults to true.

  • Enable External AI Features - Enable O11y GPT Help, O11y Explain, Extract Regex, O11y Summarize, and O11y Slack. These features help you learn to shape and use data in Observe. You can choose between Snowflake Cortex and OpenAI as providers, or disable external use entirely. Defaults to OpenAI.

  • Enable audit logs - Enable create, read, update, and delete activities to be logged. You can view these activities on the Audit Events Dashboard.

Account Settings

  • User information – displays the name and email address of the signed-in user.

  • Account settings – configure your Account settings:

    • Name – the login name of the user.

    • Default time zone – switch to another time zone.

    • Password - Create a new password.

    • Dataset Time Ordering - Alter the default display order of time-ordered data.

    • Role – the role assigned to the user.

    • User ID – ID assigned to the user.

Connections

Enable O11y Slack integration for this workspace. As an administrator of Observe and a Slack workspace, you will be able to link this Observe instance’s O11y to your Slack Workspace as an app.

This integration allows O11y Slack to use the Observe-specific capabilities of O11y GPT Help.

Note

O11y Slack integration is not required to use Slack alerting from Monitors.
