Observe (Observe, Inc., now "Observe by Snowflake" following its acquisition by Snowflake; www.observeinc.com redirects to snowflake.com/en/product/observe) is an observability platform for logs, metrics, traces and APM built on a data lake and the OPAL query language. Its developer surface lives on docs.observeinc.com: a tenant-scoped REST API (https://{customerid}.observeinc.com/v1, bearer "<customerid> <token>") covering monitors, datasets, ingest and API tokens, reference tables, service accounts and query export, with date-based Observe-Api-Version response versioning; a read-only Apache Iceberg REST Catalog endpoint; a tenant MCP server; a CLI; and a Terraform provider. Snowflake's own APIs are not credited here.
