Onboarding is now a five-step wizard that walks you through creating your organization, describing your stack (role, primary language, and where you run services), naming your workspace, sending your first event, and verifying ingestion.
- Setup steps tailored to your stack.The role, language, and deployment choices from step two determine a recommended install path in step four: OpenTelemetry, using either an agent or SDK, for Kubernetes, VMs, or mixed deployments, and the AWS Integration for serverless. This means new users are not choosing blindly from a generic list.
- No guessing whether it worked.The final step waits for a real signal, a trace, log, metric, or RUM event, and marks itself complete the moment one arrives.
- A checklist that doesn't disappear.Finishing the wizard takes you to the home page, where a Setup checklist drawer shows what's left: instrumenting an app, building a dashboard, creating an alert, wiring a notification channel, and inviting a teammate. Each row can hand off to the assistant if you'd rather be walked through it, and the checklist reopens anytime from the Setup pill in the header.
This should reduce first-run confusion and help teams reach value faster.
