## Docs

- [Create your account and sign in](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/get-started/accounts.md): How you get an aiAxonIQ account during the private beta, what the invitation link does, and what to do when it has expired.
- [Authentication](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/get-started/authentication.md): The two aiAxonIQ credentials and which to use where: a license key for sending telemetry, a session for using the product, and why there is no third.
- [How aiAxonIQ works](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/get-started/how-it-works.md): What happens to a span, log line or metric sample between your service and the dashboard — and the two rules that follow from it.
- [Create a license key](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/get-started/license-keys.md): License keys authenticate every ingest request. How to create one, where it goes, and the four things it deliberately does not control.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/get-started/quickstart.md): From a working account to telemetry you can see in the product, in about ten minutes, using nothing but curl. The shortest path that proves every hop.
- [Verify your data arrived](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/get-started/verify-data.md): How to tell the difference between accepted and queryable, the three places to look, and what each failure at each stage actually means.
- [Alerting](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/guides/alerts/overview.md): Rule types that actually evaluate, the three comparators, and which notification channels work out of the box.
- [Searching logs](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/guides/logs/search.md): The Logs Explorer query syntax — free text, field filters, booleans, wildcards and numeric comparisons — with the full field list.
- [Synthetic monitoring](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/guides/synthetics/overview.md): HTTP, SSL, DNS, TCP and multi-step checks run from probe locations — including the prerequisite that blocks a fresh install.
- [aiAxonIQ documentation](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/index.md): Send OpenTelemetry logs, metrics and traces to aiAxonIQ, then search, alert and investigate. Start here to get your first data flowing in about ten minutes.
- [Endpoints and errors](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/endpoints.md): Every ingest path, every status code the receiver returns, the rate limits and the size caps — the page to open when a request is being rejected.
- [Send data with OpenTelemetry](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/otel/collector.md): The OTLP endpoints, the authentication header, and a first request you can verify — for logs, metrics and traces, over HTTP and gRPC.
- [Instrument your application](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/otel/zero-code.md): Zero-code instrumentation for Node.js, Python, Java and .NET, an explicit setup for Go, and the four environment variables all of them read.
- [Installation overview](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/overview.md): What you actually install to send telemetry to aiAxonIQ, how to choose between a collector and direct instrumentation, and which platform guide to open.
- [Send data from Docker](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/platforms/docker.md): Run an OpenTelemetry Collector container beside your application containers, forward host and application telemetry, and verify it from the collector's own metrics.
- [Send data from Docker Compose](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/platforms/docker-compose.md): Add a collector service to an existing Compose stack, reach it by service name from every other container, and keep the license key out of your application services.
- [Send data from Kubernetes](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/platforms/kubernetes.md): A DaemonSet collector for node and pod telemetry, where the license key goes, and the two collectors most clusters end up needing.
- [Send data from a Linux VM](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/platforms/linux.md): Install the OpenTelemetry Collector as a systemd service on Debian, Ubuntu or RHEL, collect host metrics and journald logs, and keep the key out of the config file.
- [Prometheus remote-write](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/send-data/prometheus.md): Ship metrics from an existing Prometheus server without re-instrumenting anything, and the limits a write request must stay inside.
- [Troubleshooting](https://docs.aiaxoniq.com/support/troubleshooting.md): The pipeline stage by stage — what each failure looks like from outside, and which of the four places to look answers which question.
