Reading time: 0 minute(s) (0 words)

In addition to command-line workflows, you can define and apply YAML definitions of your required Nobl9 resources directly in the Nobl9 Web application. This allows you to create or edit Nobl9 resources directly within your organization without needing to manage contexts or command syntax.

To access this feature, click >_ in the top-right of the Nobl9 application.

yaml create button — Accessing YAML create

The Apply YAML dialog opens. You can paste your prepared YAML definition here or use templates for further fine-tuning:

You can apply several resources at once. The available templates comprise the most frequently used resource types. However, you can apply a definition of any resource missing among the templates provided in the menu.

Click Apply YAML when your YAML configurations are ready. Your applied definitions appear as Nobl9 resources accessible under respective Nobl9 Web application sections.

Key takeaways

Your YAML definitions must follow the Nobl9 resource YAML syntax convention. Find YAML samples in the following locations:
- Your required resource documentation section—data source, SLO, alert policy, alert method, etc
- YAML guide contains YAML definitions of all resources available in Nobl9
- Nobl9 SDK for Go—you can find example YAML configurations under your required resource's /examples directory
Make sure to provide existing resource names when creating a nested or dependent resource.
Exception: a project name when applying a service. Providing a non-existing project name in this case results in creating both a service and a project.
