Choose what to connect
Pick the right connection path based on what you want Doow to show.
Use this page to choose the source family that matches the outcome you need. The right connection is the one that gives Doow the missing data for the review you are trying to run.
If you are not sure
Many teams begin with one usage source and one identity provider because that shows what is being used and who is connected to it. Use that as a baseline, not a required order.
Choose by outcome
Use this when you need browser activity, desktop app activity, models, projects, services, events, or metrics.
Use this when you need users, groups, app access, and assignments from an identity provider.
Use this when departments, managers, job titles, or employment status matter for the review.
Use this when finance needs vendors, expenses, categories, transactions, or finance-confirmed spend.
Use the instrumentation SDK when you own the app and need to emit custom usage events.
Use observability or OTLP when usage metrics already exist in your monitoring pipeline.
Common paths
Usage visibility
Use this path when the missing data is activity, consumption, events, requests, tokens, services, or metrics.
- Open Choose a usage data source.
- Pick Doow Agent, direct provider APIs, cloud platforms, instrumentation, observability, or OTLP.
- Connect the provider or method.
- Confirm usage data appears in Doow.
Ownership and user context
Use this path when the missing data is the person, group, assignment, team, or employment context behind the usage.
- Connect Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another identity provider.
- Confirm users and app assignments sync.
- Add HRIS if you need departments, managers, and employment status.
Spend reconciliation
Use this path when the missing data is the finance record behind software or SaaS spend.
- Connect Accounting integrations.
- Select the expense categories that contain software and SaaS spend.
- Confirm expenses appear in Doow.
- Add usage and identity data so Doow can explain whether spend matches use.
