Creating Your First Project

Step-by-step guide to creating your first project in the Lognitor dashboard.

What is a Project?

A project represents a single application or service that sends logs to Lognitor. Each project has its own API key, dashboard, and data isolation — logs from one project never mix with another.

Creating a Project

1. Sign in to the dashboard.
2. Click "Create Project" from the sidebar or the empty-state prompt.
3. Enter a project name — choose something descriptive like "API Backend", "Web App", or "Payment Service".
4. Select your platform — this helps Lognitor show you the right setup instructions. You can change it later.
5. Click Create.

What Happens Next

After creation, Lognitor generates an API key for your project. This key is shown once on the setup screen — copy it immediately and store it in your environment variables.

You'll also see platform-specific installation instructions. Follow them to send your first log.

Project Limits

Each plan allows a certain number of projects. Free plans include 1 project. Check your plan limits on the Billing page.
