You can export telemetry data from your Timescale Cloud services with the time-series and analytics capability enabled to third-party monitoring tools such as Datadog or Amazon CloudWatch. Available metrics include CPU usage, RAM usage, and storage. Third-party monitoring is available for Scale or Enterprise pricing tiers.
This page shows you how to securely connect a data exporter to a monitoring tool, and manage the lifecycle of data exporters.
To follow the procedure on this page, you need to:
- Create a target Timescale Cloud service.
A Timescale Cloud data exporter sends telemetry data from a Timescale Cloud service to a third-party monitoring tool. You create an exporter on the project level, in the same AWS region as your service:
To send telemetry data to an external monitoring tool, you attach a data exporter to your Timescale Cloud service. You can attach only one exporter to a service.
To attach an exporter:
- In Timescale Console, choose the service
- Click
Operations>Integrations - Select the exporter, then click
Attach exporter - If you are attaching a first
Logsdata type exporter, restart the service
You can now monitor your service metrics. Use the following metrics to check the service is running correctly:
timescale.cloud.system.cpu.usage.millicorestimescale.cloud.system.cpu.total.millicorestimescale.cloud.system.memory.usage.bytestimescale.cloud.system.memory.total.bytestimescale.cloud.system.disk.usage.bytestimescale.cloud.system.disk.total.bytes
Additionally, use the following tags to filter your results.
| Tag | Example variable | Description |
|---|---|---|
host | us-east-1.timescale.cloud | |
project-id | ||
service-id | ||
region | us-east-1 | AWS region |
role | replica or primary | For service with replicas |
node-id | For multi-node services |
To update a data exporter:
- In Timescale Console, open Integrations
- Next to the exporter you want to edit, click the menu >
Edit - Edit the exporter fields and save your changes
You cannot change fields such as the provider or the AWS region.
To remove a data exporter that you no longer need:
Disconnect the data exporter from your Timescale Cloud services
- In Timescale Console, choose the service.
- Click
Operations>Integrations. - Click the trash can icon.
- Repeat for every service attached to the exporter you want to remove.
The data exporter is now unattached from all services. However, it still exists in your project.
Delete the exporter on the project level
- In Timescale Console, open Integrations
- Next to the exporter you want to edit, click menu >
Delete - Confirm that you want to delete the data exporter.
When you create the IAM OIDC provider, the URL must match the region you create the exporter in. It must be one of the following:
