How to Enable Monitoring

Monitoring is disabled by default. The observability platform requires dedicated resources to process and store data, so you can choose the right monitoring plan size for your needs and enable it only for the workloads that require it.

To access the Log and Request Browsers, an Admin must enable Monitoring at the Resource Group (Team) level, and collection must be toggled on for the individual Landscape.

Info: Only Resource Group (Team) admins can enable the monitoring platform.

Turning on Monitoring for the Resource Group (Team)

1. Navigate to the Settings area, and then to the Monitoring tab.
2. Click “Active Monitoring”.
3. Choose your desired plan for the Monitoring service and activate it.
   

Enabling Log & Request (Trace) Collection in the Landscape

Now that monitoring is active for the Resource Group (Team), you must specifically enable collection for each Landscape.

Why is this step necessary? This setting gives you precise control over your observability data. You can decide exactly which workloads send logs and traces to the monitoring platform, ensuring that you're only paying for and storing the data you actually need.

Tip: We recommend enabling both logs and traces to get the most out of the Codesphere Observability Stack.
