Sysdig is a universal system visibility tool with support for containers. What makes Sysdig special, is that it hooks itself into the machine’s kernel and segregates the information on a per-container basis.

First, get a Sysdig API key

  1. Login to your Sysdig account

  2. Hover over your username and select "Sysdig API Tokens"


  3. Copy your API Token

Lastly, create a Sysdig credential in Tines

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the Sysdig credential

    1. Name: Sysdig

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: Your API key

  5. Optional

    1. Domains: Ensure this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains.
