/Getting Started

Sending Your First Log

Send your first log entry and verify it appears in the dashboard.

Install the SDK

Choose your platform and install:

Terminal

# Node.js
npm install @lognitor/node

# Python
pip install lognitor

# PHP
composer require lognitor/lognitor

Initialize and Send

Node.js

JavaScript

import Lognitor from '@lognitor/node';

Lognitor.init({
  apiKey: process.env.LOGNITOR_API_KEY,
  service: 'my-app',
  environment: 'production',
});

Lognitor.info('Hello from Lognitor!');

Python

import lognitor

lognitor.init(
    api_key='your-api-key',
    service='my-app',
    environment='production',
)

lognitor.info('Hello from Lognitor!')

PHP

use Lognitor\Lognitor;

Lognitor::init([
    'api_key' => 'your-api-key',
    'service' => 'my-app',
    'environment' => 'production',
]);

Lognitor::info('Hello from Lognitor!');

Verify in the Dashboard

Go to the dashboard. Within seconds, your log should appear on the Dashboard page and in the Logs viewer. If you don't see it:

Check that your API key is correct.
Ensure your application can reach the Lognitor API endpoint.
Check the SDK's debug: true option for diagnostic output.
