Environments

The Environments tab in Account settings lists the environments configured for the account.

Environments table

Each row shows:

• Name – the display name for the environment.
• Environment ID – a system-generated identifier used when configuring SDKs and API tokens.
• Actions:
  • Switch to – makes this environment active in the UI.
  • Edit – changes the environment’s display name.
  • Delete – removes the environment from the account.

Paging controls appear at the bottom when there are many environments.

Creating an environment

1. Go to Account settings → Environments.
2. Select Create environment.
3. Provide a name.

Prefactor generates a new Environment ID on creation.

Switching environments

The current environment is shown in the header. Use Switch to in the table or the environment selector in the header to change the active environment.

The active environment controls which agents, spans, and configuration are visible across the UI.

Deleting an environment

Delete removes the environment from the account. Agents, tokens, and integrations that reference the environment’s ID will stop working. Update or remove those dependencies before deleting.
