Getting Started

What are the prerequisites for onboarding on Levitate?

Levitate takes under two minutes to sign-up and get started. After signing up, you can create a cluster, grab a remote write URL and plug it into your existing TSDB, and start sending data.

Give it a shot. Sign-up on Levitate.

Want a simple walkthrough? Here goes:

Step 1: Sign up on Levitate via your Google/Microsoft Business account at https://app.last9.io/product/levitate

Note that Levitate only allows work/business email accounts to sign up and using personal emails is not allowed.

Step 2: Create your account

Step 3: Proceed to set up your cluster

Step 4: Provide details of the cluster you are creating

• Region → Asia/Mumbai(ap-south-1) OR Europe/Frankfurt(eu-west-1) OR North America/Virginia(us-east-2)
• Cluster Name → Identify your cluster with a name
• Description → Some additional info on what purpose this cluster serves
• Append Labels → Provide additional labels that will get appended to the metric data, making it easier to filter & query

Step 5: That's it! Your Levitate cluster is now live 😍

Step 6: Create a token to write to/read from your Levitate cluster

Copy the token and store it on your side. It will be used as a password while sending data to Levitate using Prometheus Remote Write or via AWS Cloudwatch Metrics Stream.

Step 7: Copy the Write Configuration and paste it to your Prometheus remote write config. Then, reload Prometheus to start sending data to your Levitate cluster.

Step 8: Refer to the adjacent read configuration and add it as a data source to the visualization tool of your choice.

And... You're done! 🟢
