SignalFX

Connecting Hawkeye to your SignalFx (now part of the Splunk Observability Cloud) environment enables the collection of your application and infrastructure telemetry, including metrics, traces, and logs.

These data streams feed into the Hawkeye dashboard to power real-time monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting across your systems.

You will need to authenticate using your Organization Access Token (sometimes called an “org token” or “ingest token”) along with the realm (e.g., us0, us1, eu0) that corresponds to your SignalFx/Observability Cloud instance.

Note

For each step, we’ve created a short demo walkthrough and a step-by-step guide. You can check out the demo for a visual guide to setting up your Jira connection!
