If you do not have an account, you can sign up for a free trial [here](https://www.mezmo.com/sign-up-mezmo-platform). Please feel free to select either of the demo logs upon sign up, we will be connecting new data from a local OpenTelemetry Demo deployment. You can explore [Mezmo Flow](/telemetry-pipelines/about-mezmo-flow) or continue on with the workshop. ## Step 1: Create an OpenTelemetry Log Shared Source Once you have an account, go ahead and [Create a new Shared Source](https://app.mezmo.com/pipelines/shared-sources). Select `OpenTelemetry Logs` and call it what you will, be sure to **save your created Access Key** as you will need this later. Image Note that a [Shared Source](/telemetry-pipelines/shared-sources) is a powerful way to re-use sources within Mezmo without needing to configure new integrations. Organizations can take advantage of them to provide teams the self-service ability to pull in sanitized and normalized telemetry data from any stream needed. Image ## Step 2: Create an OpenTelemetry Metric Shared Source Repeat the prior step but this time select `OpenTelemetry Metrics`. Once again be sure to write that Access Key down for later. Image ## Step 3: Create an OpenTelemetry Trace Shared Source Finally create a `OpenTelemetry Metrics` Shared Source and save that Access Key. Image
