On-Premise Overview

Atatus offers an on-premise setup for organizations that require full control over their observability data.

This solution is ideal for businesses with strict compliance, data sovereignty, or security requirements that restrict sending telemetry data to the cloud.

Why Use On-Premise?

🔒 Data Privacy & Security: Keep all monitoring data within your private network.
🏢 Compliance: Meet regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2).
🚀 Performance: Reduce latency by hosting the observability backend closer to your services.
⚙️ Custom Control: Fully control scaling, backups, and integrations.

How to Get On-Premise

To get access to the on-premise version of Atatus:

Contact Support – Email success@atatus.com or reach out via the dashboard.
Get Installation Package – You'll receive a Docker-based deployment package.
Install & Configure – Follow the installation guide provided.
Replace Endpoint URLs in agents as shown below.

Agent Endpoint Configuration

To connect your services to the on-premise Atatus instance, you must update the Atatus agent configurations by replacing:

YOUR_ON_PREMISE_DOMAIN → your Atatus on-premise server URL
YOUR_APP_NAME → the name of your monitored app
YOUR_LICENSE_KEY → You’ll find your license key in the Atatus dashboard during onboarding.

Example:

https://atatus-observability.mycompany.com
payment-service
lic_apm_8deff58f1ca9a05b1ad30185
