Server

A server is a type of Observability component that represents a piece of hardware or software that provides services for other data estate components.

Observability servers help to provide storage or computing infrastructure, for example, an Amazing EC2 server may run Airflow jobs. Servers can provide functionality to the other components in your data estate.

Server configuration

You define the component activity to align with the servers in your data estate.

Server configurations always include events, which are moments of interest sent by your data estate and captured by Observability.

Create a new server

Servers are automatically generated based on event information received by the Event Ingestion API.

Observability creates a new server any time the system receives an event whose server_key does not match keys for existing servers in the project.

You can also manually create datasets in the UI. Follow the instructions outlined in Create Components.
