Next Steps After Install

With the server and at least one worker online, you can start enabling observability and building jobs.

Confirm baseline health

• Sign in to the UI as an administrator and change the default password if you have not already.
• Verify the built-in worker (or external workers) show Online in Settings → Workers.
• Run a simple “Hello, world” job and confirm the run completes without errors.

Capturing these checks up front gives stakeholders a clear “green light” that the environment is usable.

Enable worker metrics

New workers default to metrics collection being disabled. To turn it on:

1. In the web UI, open Workers and select the worker you just registered.
2. Choose Edit settings.
3. Enable Metrics enabled and set Metrics interval (30 seconds is a sensible default).
4. Save the changes and wait for the worker to poll the server (15 seconds by default).

Alternatively, set LYFTDATA_WORKER_METRICS_INTERVAL=<seconds> in the worker service environment file before restarting the worker.

Explore the job editor

The job editor lets you build and test pipelines from the browser. Highlights include:

• YAML autocompletion and validation
• Inline evaluation with sample input data
• Step-by-step tracing to inspect action output
• Contextual help for inputs, actions, and outputs

From the dashboard, choose Jobs → New job to open the editor and start authoring your first pipeline.

Track adoption metrics

• Record how many users successfully log in and run their first job (pilot completion rate).
• Note how long it takes to enable worker metrics and dashboards (observability readiness).
• Capture any blockers surfaced during the first week so they can feed into the production rollout plan.
