To access your SigNoz metrics and alerts data, follow the steps below:

**Prerequisites:**\
Ensure you have access to your SigNoz account (either on [https://platform.signoz.io](https://platform.signoz.io) for cloud users, or your own deployment for self-hosted users).

1. Log in to [https://platform.signoz.io](https://platform.signoz.io).
2. Navigate to your **Organization** and select the desired **Project**.

   * `https://<custom-subdomain>.signoz.io`
4. Use this dashboard URL when configuring your integration.

#### **B. Self-Hosted Users**

1. Use the direct URL of your self-hosted SigNoz instance (e.g., `https://your-signoz-domain.com`).

**NOTE**: **`Do not use ingest or API endpoint URLs like /ingest or /api.`**

### 2. Generate an API Key

1. Navigate to **Settings > API Keys** in your SigNoz dashboard (Cloud or Self-Hosted).
