Getting started

To get started, install Dendro using:

$ npm i -g dendro-cli

Then run dendro configure to select which services you want to monitor. Here you will be prompted to input any neccessary credentials.

To deploy the AWS cloud pipeline, run:

$ dendro deploy

Lets now verify our deployment using:

$ dendro list

Next, you need to install our log and metric collector Vector. We've provided a command to help you do this:

$ dendro install-vector

Now, lets begin sending off logs and metrics to the pipeline using:

$ ./vector --config=./vector-config.toml

Now that we have data being processed by the pipeline and being stored into the database, let's now visualize it. Run dendro start:server and point your browser to http://localhost:3000/

And finally to clean up, run:

$ dendro teardown
