Sandbox¶
Try IAPM without any setup. The sandbox provides a fully functional environment with demo data so you can explore features before instrumenting your own applications.
Why Use the Sandbox?¶
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| No setup required | Start exploring immediately |
| Safe environment | Experiment freely without affecting production |
| Full functionality | Access all IAPM features |
| Learn by doing | Understand how telemetry appears in the platform |
Chaos Simulator¶
The OpenTelemetry Chaos Simulator is an open-source demo application that generates realistic telemetry data.
What It Does¶
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Inject failures | Simulate errors, timeouts, and exceptions |
| Generate traffic | Create realistic request patterns |
| See results live | Watch telemetry appear in IAPM in real-time |
| No code changes | Pre-configured with OpenTelemetry |
How to Use¶
- Go to demo.iapm.app
- A unique sandbox is created automatically for you
- Click buttons to trigger actions and inject chaos
- Open IAPM Desktop to see the telemetry
Real-time Only
The Chaos Simulator generates real-time data only. Historical data is not retained.
What You Can Simulate¶
| Scenario | Effect |
|---|---|
| Normal traffic | Healthy request patterns |
| High latency | Slow response times |
| Errors | HTTP 500 and exception traces |
| Timeouts | Connection and request timeouts |
| Cascading failures | Failures that propagate across services |
Your Own Sandbox¶
Each sandbox session is isolated:
- Unique instance - Created when you access the simulator
- Persistent - Bookmark the URL to return to the same sandbox
- Isolated - Your actions don't affect other users
