Question regarding API endpoints and full documentation:
1. Are the docs for the API updated (i.e. still using /v1/ and other potential updates)
2. What exactly is the base_url for API calls? Do you have some examples for retrieving information about services, infrastructure, etc?

Hey @Haim Barad,
• Let me confirm with the team about the API docs being updated.
• The base_url should be your Signoz instance URL. Can you share where you came across the term "base_url"?

base_url is my own term, since I think it’s more descriptive. But it’s not part of your documentation.
Thanks for the clarification. Many of the points seem to be returning 404’s.
I’m mostly interested in observability type of air points for instance, that would show infrastructure loads and service stats.

Oh, okay - we did mention the URL being the Signoz instance URL, but let us know if you see anywhere it's not being mentioned.
Interesting - can you share what endpoints are returning 404s's

I see in the API documentation that there’s a limited set of endpoints. I’m primarily interested in creating agents to monitor the system that SigNoz provides visibility for. Are there plans for an MCP server or expanding the API endpoints?

yeah - API is limited to creating dashboards, alerts and querying the telemetry
SigNoz is an open-source APM. It helps developers monitor their applications & troubleshoot problems, an open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc.
