Quickstart

Logfire Onboarding Guide

Follow along to get started with Logfire onboarding and send your first logs to the log monitoring platform.

We are going to use Logfire-Cli to guide you through each step.

Step 1: Install the Logfire-Cli

Step 2: Run Logfire Bootstrap

After you have successfully installed the Logfire-Cli. For first time users, run the following command:

$ logfire bootstrap

You will be prompted to provide your email-id to get signup token to continue logging. Copy paste token from your email in the terminal.

Next, you’ll be guided through the following steps:

  1. Create an Account The interface will prompt you to create an account. You’ll be asked to provide necessary details such as your email address and token.

  2. Setup Profile Next, you’ll be asked to set up your profile. This usually involves providing information like your name and any other profile-related details required by the system.

  3. Create a Team The third step involves setting up a team. You’ll be asked to provide a team name. If your organization uses specific team structures, be sure to have this information on hand.

  4. Create a Source In this step, you will create a source for your logs. This could be an application, a service, or a system that generates the logs you want to monitor.

  5. Test the Source Once the source has been created, the interface will guide you through testing it to ensure it’s working as expected. This usually involves generating some logs from the source and ensuring they can be read and interpreted correctly by the Logfire system.

make sure you have pressed enter before copy-pasting the sample curl command in other terminal

  1. Configure the Source After testing the source, the last step is to configure it. The interface will guide you through the necessary configuration steps. These might involve setting up log rotation, specifying log formats, or any other configuration options that are specific to your source.

Once you have completed all the steps, your Logfire environment will be fully set up and ready to start collecting and analyzing logs.

Step 3: It’s Done!!!

Next, you can continue with the Logfire-cli to add or configure sources and send logs to Logfire. Or, you can login to Logfire web-ui and experice a slick web-ui interface.
