Send health data
SUSE Observability
Overview
SUSE Observability can synchronize health information from your own data sources either via HTTP or the SUSE Observability CLI.
SUSE Observability Receiver API
The SUSE Observability Receiver API accepts topology, metrics, events and health data in a common JSON object. The default location for the receiver API is the <STACKSTATE_RECEIVER_API_ADDRESS>, constructed using the <STACKSTATE_BASE_URL> and <STACKSTATE_RECEIVER_API_KEY>.
The <STACKSTATE_RECEIVER_API_ADDRESS> for SUSE Observability deployed on Kubernetes or OpenShift is:
https://<STACKSTATE_BASE_URL>/receiver/stsAgent/intake?api_key=<STACKSTATE_RECEIVER_API_KEY>The <STACKSTATE_BASE_URL> and <STACKSTATE_RECEIVER_API_KEY> are set during SUSE Observability installation, for details see Kubernetes install - configuration parameters.
