Obtain Data Upload Endpoint and Data Keys
Before starting with the configuration of Application Performance Monitoring data sources, you need to get familiar with obtaining the values of the Data Upload Endpoint and Data Keys to be able to upload data.
Application Performance Monitoring (APM) data sources gather data and upload it to an APM domain. The data gathered by the data sources are referred to as observations.
To upload observations to APM, you require the following information:
- Data Upload Endpoint: The Data Upload Endpoint is the URL to which a data source sends the observations. The Data Upload Endpoint is generated when an APM domain is created, and each APM domain has its own Data Upload Endpoint.
- Data Keys: A data key is required to ensure that APM accepts the observation. When an APM domain is created, the following two data keys are generated:
- Public Data Key value is required to upload observations collected by APM Browser agents.
- Private Data Key value is required to upload observations collected by APM Server Java agents and APM tracer.
APM Browser agent, Server Java agent and Tracer are different types of APM data sources. For information about the data sources available in Application Performance Monitoring, see Application Performance Monitoring Data Sources.
Use APM Domain Details Page
You can obtain the Data Upload Endpoint and Data Keys values using APM Domain Details page from the OCI console.
- Open the navigation menu, click Observability & Management. Under Application Performance Monitoring, click Administration.
- On the Administration page, select the desired compartment and APM domain.
- On the Domain Details page, the Data Upload Endpoint and Data Keys values are displayed.
The Data Upload Endpoint is displayed under the APM Domain Information.
The private and public data keys are listed under Data Keys.
