Quick Start

Let’s start setting up your environment so you can begin using Hawkeye to monitor your resources and start an investigation session.

Tip

To help you begin, we’ve created a short demo walkthrough and a step-by-step guide. Check out the demo for a visual guide to setting up and running the project in no time!

Quick Start Guide

To set up an investigation session, you’ll need to go through the following steps:

Step 1 Set up a connection to your cloud resources.

Step 2 Set up a project that uses the data from the connection.

Step 3 Wait for the project to analyze the available data.

Step 4 Start an investigation session for the project.

Step 1: Setting up a connection

To start, you’ll need to create a connection to your cloud resources, allowing Hawkeye to pull in telemetry data.

1. Access connections: From the left-hand navigation menu, click on Connections.

   

2. Create a new connection:

   Click the New Connection card.

   

   Choose the type of connection (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).

   

   Provide the necessary connection details.

   

   Once the details are filled in, click the Save button.

Note

For a step-by-step guide to setting up a connection, refer to the guide specific to that connection type.

Step 2: Setting up a project

With a connection established, the next step is to set up a project.

1. Navigate to Projects:

   After saving the connection, you’ll be prompted to create a project.

   

   Alternatively, you can navigate to the Projects section from the left-hand menu.

2. Create a new Project:

   Click the New Project card.

   

   Enter the project name and description, and choose a badge color.

   

   Select the connection you created earlier.

   

   Confirm the project details and click Save.

Step 3: Wait for the project to be Ready

Once the project is created, Hawkeye will analyze the telemetry data from the connection. This might take a few moments.

The project status will update to Ready once it’s done.

Step 4: Start a session for investigation

With the project ready, you can now start your investigation session.

1. Open the project:

   From the Projects section, find your project and click on it.

   

   Alternatively, use the Start a session action from the project creation confirmation page.

2. Start a new session:

   Once inside the project, a new session will automatically begin, and you can start interacting with Hawkeye.

   

   Future sessions can be started by clicking the New Session button, and all prior sessions will be saved in the session list.
