APIs and command-line interfaces
Chronosphere provides tools for interacting with the Observability Platform and Telemetry Pipeline products. These include command-line interfaces and APIs.
Chronoctl
Chronoctl is a Chronosphere-supplied app that lets you manage your organization's Chronosphere Observability Platform resources from the command line. Use Chronoctl to perform Observability Platform entity operations programmatically.
Infrastructure as code
Many organizations manage their systems completely in code. Chronosphere works with the following common infrastructure as code tools.
Terraform
Terraform is an open source, infrastructure-as-code software tool that provides a consistent workflow for managing hundreds of cloud services as a series of configuration files. Terraform relies on plugins called providers to interact with cloud providers, SaaS providers, and other APIs, including Chronosphere Observability Platform.
Pulumi
Pulumi is an open source infrastructure-as-code software tool you can use to create, deploy, and manage infrastructure on any cloud in the language of your choosing.
Pipeline CLI
Pipeline CLI is a Chronosphere-supplied app that lets you manage Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline from the command line. For example, you can use Pipeline CLI to create and modify pipelines, create fleets, and install a Core Operator in your Kubernetes cluster.
Chronosphere API
The Chronosphere API is an HTTP/JSON REST API for Observability Platform, where the HTTP method and the URL path define endpoints. To access the Chronosphere API, you need an API token.
