Integration steps
- Identify the existing telemetry source and resource owner.
- Add a bounded application identifier and curated query catalog entries.
- Add source credentials server-side only if an existing datasource is insufficient.
- Choose explicit public aggregate fields; keep detailed labels private.
- Add applicable dashboards, alerts, and runbooks.
- Update all reading modes and the documentation fingerprint.
Validation
Compare returned values with the source query, exercise stale and unavailable states, and verify access separation. Ensure new collection does not exceed the current signal budget.
Ownership
Adding an application to the central interface does not move its deployment pipeline into the local-server repository.
