Getting started
Now that you’ve signed up for APM we are here to help you get started. The following steps will help you set up your Raygun account and start monitoring real time server performance, and seeing all the diagnostic information you need to solve your biggest performance questions.
Quick start guide
1. Choose an existing application, or create a new one within Raygun
As a new user, you may be wondering what an application is. You can think of applications as containers used to segment data inside Raygun. With unlimited applications, you can monitor many different software projects and development environments within one Raygun account.
tip: We recommend creating one application for each of your environments, e.g. one for development and one for production. Find out more in our Workflow Guide.
2. Install and configure the Raygun Agent
- Open the installation guide and choose Windows, Linux, or Azure App Service.
- Install the latest Agent, then complete the linked application profiler setup. Installing the Agent alone does not enable profiling for an application.
3. Generate some traffic for your app
Navigate through real application pages or send requests to API routes that perform representative work. Do not test only a health-check endpoint.
4. Wait a few minutes for Raygun to start receiving your data
If data does not appear after waiting a few minutes, use the platform troubleshooting guides.
