If you already use Sentry, Datadog, New Relic, or another observability tool, Rocketgraph reads from them directly. No SDK changes needed.

1. Sign up and connect a data source

Go to rocketgraph.app/settings and connect your observability tool:
  • Sentry — Org slug, project slug(s), and a User Auth Token
  • Datadog — API key and Application key
  • New Relic — API key and Account ID
  • CloudWatch — AWS access key, secret, region, and log group

2. Set up deploy webhooks

Connect your deploy pipeline so Rocketgraph runs a before/after analysis on every deploy:
  • Railway — Copy the webhook URL from Settings and add it in Railway project → Settings → Deploy Webhooks
  • GitHub Actions — POST to the webhook URL on push to main

3. Connect Slack

Go to rocketgraph.app/integrations/slack and install the Rocketgraph bot. Anomaly reports and deploy regression alerts are posted to your channel.

4. Deploy something

Push a change to your main branch. After the deploy, Rocketgraph will:
  • Fetch logs from before and after the deploy
  • Run ML-based template mining and anomaly scoring
  • Post a diff to Slack: new errors, disappeared patterns, behavior changes

Option B: Send OpenTelemetry directly

If you want to send traces, metrics, and logs directly to Rocketgraph (instead of or alongside your existing tools): The fastest way to instrument a Node.js project:
export ROCKETGRAPH_API_KEY=rg_live_xxxxxx  # from rocketgraph.app/settings
npx @rgraph/otel-node init
The AI agent reads your code, detects your framework, writes the right instrumentation file, and installs packages. Works with Express, Fastify, Next.js, NestJS, Koa, and more. See Node.js instrumentation for details.

Manual setup

Set environment variables and use the OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation:
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="https://ingress.us-east-2.rocketgraph.app"
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="Authorization=Bearer rg_live_xxxxxx"
export OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="my-service"
export NODE_OPTIONS="--require @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node/register"

node app.js
See Node.js or Python instrumentation guides for full setup.
