Run OpenObserve locally, bring in Kubernetes data, and see it in a dashboard in about five minutes.

## What you'll learn

- Start OpenObserve locally with one Docker command
- Ingest logs and metrics from a Kubernetes cluster
- Explore your data and import a prebuilt dashboard

To get your first dashboard working in OpenObserve, run OpenObserve locally with Docker, connect a data source, and import a prebuilt dashboard. This five-minute video shows each step using a Kubernetes cluster.

You’ll see how to start OpenObserve with one Docker command, connect your cluster to ingest logs and metrics, and check the incoming data in Streams. From there, you can filter and search your logs before importing a Kubernetes dashboard that displays your data right away.

You don’t need to build charts from scratch to follow along. You’ll need Docker and a running Kubernetes cluster.
