Getting started

Sign up, connect your first GitLab project, and land your first RCA in a merge request.

This guide takes you from zero to your first RCA comment inside a merge request in under five minutes.

1. Create an account

Head to app.exlogare.net/login and enter your work email. We’ll email you a magic link — click it to land on the onboarding wizard.

2. Connect GitLab

Pick whichever mode fits your environment:

  1. Webhook — we give you a URL and a secret; you paste them into GitLab project settings.
  2. OAuth — you authorize Exlogare once; we poll your projects.
  3. Personal access token — fastest if your governance prefers short-lived tokens you can rotate from GitLab.

3. Break something on purpose

Push a commit to a branch that deliberately fails CI. Within 60 seconds, an RCA comment appears in the MR. If it doesn’t, check Dashboard → Events for the delivery trace.

4. (Optional) Create an API token

If you want to POST Jenkins build logs or script against Exlogare from CI, open Settings → API tokens in the dashboard and create a token. You will see the raw exl_… secret once — copy it into your secret manager before closing the dialog.
