+# OpenObserve
+
+[OpenObserve](https://openobserve.ai) is an observability platform for logs, metrics and traces. It ships with a web UI, and stores data on local disk in single-node mode.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+```nix
+# In `perSystem.process-compose.<name>`
+{
+  services.openobserve."oo1".enable = true;
+}
+```
+
+The web UI is then served at <http://127.0.0.1:5080>, and the ingestion and query APIs live under the same address. Log in with:
+
+|          |                            |
+| -------- | -------------------------- |
+| Email    | `admin@services-flake.com` |
+| Password | `admin`                    |
+
+{#tips}
+
+## Tips & Tricks
+
+{#credentials}
+
+### Changing the root user
+
+OpenObserve refuses to start without root credentials, so this service supplies the defaults above. Override them — or set any other [`ZO_*` variable](https://openobserve.ai/docs/environment-variables/) — through `extraEnvironment`, which is merged after the module's own defaults:
+
+```nix
+{
+  services.openobserve."oo1" = {
+    enable = true;
+    extraEnvironment = {
+      ZO_ROOT_USER_EMAIL = "me@example.com";
+      ZO_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD = "Somethingelse#456";
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The email must match OpenObserve's address pattern. If it doesn't — or if either variable is unset — the process panics on startup with a message naming both.
+
+{#telemetry}
+
+### Telemetry
+
+OpenObserve reports anonymous usage data by default. This service disables it. To turn it back on:
+
+```nix
+{
+  services.openobserve."oo1" = {
+    enable = true;
+    extraEnvironment.ZO_TELEMETRY = "true";
+  };
+}
+```
+
