DSN

How FOCALE_DSN is shaped, how it maps to the Authorization header, and what changes for a local intake host.

The DSN is the one value your app needs. Put it in FOCALE_DSN. Do not commit the live key.

Shape

FOCALE_DSN=https://<key>@intake.focale.io

The part before @ is the ingest key. The host is where watching is sent. Production always uses intake.focale.io.

Bearer mapping

The SDK reads the key out of the DSN and sends it as:

Authorization: Bearer <key>

You do not set that header yourself if you use the SDK.

Local intake

If you are sending to a local intake instead of production, use that host in the DSN. The path layout stays the same. See OTLP if you are not using the SDK.
