Create a Server

Ready to start tracking analytics? Here’s how to create your first server in Hoglin.

1. Login to Hoglin

   Log in to your Hoglin Dashboard.

   • If you don’t have an account yet, create one here.
   • Once logged in, you’ll land on the server creation page.
   
   

2. Fill out server details

   You’ll be prompted to enter:

   Server name: This is how your server will appear in your dashboard

   Dashboard URL: This is the name you’ll access your server by, it’s unique per user, so choose anything!

   (Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed.)

3. Get your API key

   Once you’ve created a server, you’ll land onto our onboarding page. This page includes your server key, and it’s required to use our software.

   Copy your server key using the copy button

   Tip

   You can find and reset your server key any time on your servers settings.

   

4. Add the SDK to Your Plugin

   Now you’re ready to integrate Hoglin into your Minecraft server!

   Follow the Getting Started guide →

   Enter your Server Key into the SDK initialization code:

   _{(ideally you would use a custom configuration option for this)}
   Kotlin

   val analytics = Hoglin.Builder("<your server key>")
       .autoFlushInterval(5_000L)
       .maxBatchSize(50)
       .build()

   Java

   Hoglin analytics = new Hoglin.Builder("<your server key>")
       .autoFlushInterval(5_000L)
       .maxBatchSize(50)
       .build();

   Implement the Hoglin#track method anywhere you want to track events.

   Restart your server and watch events appear in your dashboard!
