Organization & API keys ​

Everything is managed in Manage → Settings.

Organization ​

Each organization's data is fully separate: hosts, logs, traces, monitors, users and keys. You can rename your organization under Settings → Organization.

People ​

Everyone in an organization has the same access: they can see all servers, logs, metrics, traces and monitors, and change settings.

To add a teammate:

  1. Go to Settings → People → Add user.
  2. Enter their name, email and an initial password of at least 8 characters.
  3. Share the password with them securely. They can change it after signing in.

Users can change their own password under Settings → Password. Changing it signs out their other sessions.

API keys ​

API keys connect agents and applications to your organization.

RuleDetails
LimitUp to 5 active keys per organization
Formatlc_ followed by random characters
Used byAgents (api_key in logcore.yaml), and apps that send OpenTelemetry directly (x-logcore-api-key header)
ShownYou can copy keys from Settings → Agent API keys, Add server and Instrument app
Last usedEach key shows when it was last used, so you can spot unused keys

Create a key ​

Settings → Agent API keys, enter a name (for example production servers), and create it. A clear name helps, because you might use separate keys per environment or team.

Rotate a key ​

  1. Create a new key.
  2. Move each server to the new key by running the install command again with the new LOGCORE_API_KEY, or by editing api_key in logcore.yaml and restarting the agent. Also update apps that send directly.
  3. Check that last used on the old key stops updating.
  4. Revoke the old key.

Revoke a key ​

Click the trash icon next to the key. Agents and apps that use it are rejected within about a minute and stop sending data. Data already received stays.

One key per environment

A common setup uses one key each for production, staging and apps. If one leaks, you only rotate that one.

Signing in ​

Sessions last 30 days. Sign out from the user menu. If you forget your password, ask a teammate or your Logcore administrator to reset it.
