Export telemetry data to Datadog

Tiger Cloud: Scale, Enterprise

Self-hosted products

MST

You can export telemetry data from your Tiger Cloud services with the time-series and analytics capability enabled to Datadog. The available metrics include CPU usage, RAM usage, and storage. This integration is available for Scale or Enterprise pricing plans.

This page shows you how to create a Datadog exporter in Tiger Cloud Console, and manage the lifecycle of data exporters.

Prerequisites

To follow the steps on this page:

Create a target Tiger Cloud service with time-series and analytics enabled.

Create a data exporter

Tiger Cloud data exporters send telemetry data from a Tiger Cloud service to third-party monitoring tools. You create an exporter on the project level, in the same AWS region as your service:

In Tiger Cloud Console, open Exporters
Click New exporter
Select Metrics for Data type and Datadog for provider
Choose your AWS region and provide the API key
The AWS region must be the same for your Tiger Cloud exporter and the Datadog provider.
Set Site to your Datadog region, then click Create exporter

Manage a data exporter

This section shows you how to attach, monitor, edit, and delete a data exporter.

Attach a data exporter to a Tiger Cloud service

To send telemetry data to an external monitoring tool, you attach a data exporter to your Tiger Cloud service. You can attach only one exporter to a service.

To attach an exporter:

In Tiger Cloud Console, choose the service
Click Operations > Exporters
Select the exporter, then click Attach exporter
If you are attaching a first Logs data type exporter, restart the service

Monitor Tiger Cloud service metrics

You can now monitor your service metrics. Use the following metrics to check the service is running correctly:

timescale.cloud.system.cpu.usage.millicores
timescale.cloud.system.cpu.total.millicores
timescale.cloud.system.memory.usage.bytes
timescale.cloud.system.memory.total.bytes
timescale.cloud.system.disk.usage.bytes
timescale.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

Edit a data exporter

To update a data exporter:

In Tiger Cloud Console, open Exporters
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.

Delete a data exporter

To remove a data exporter that you no longer need:

Disconnect the data exporter from your Tiger Cloud services
1. In Tiger Cloud Console, choose the service.
2. Click Operations > Exporters.
3. Click the trash can icon.
4. 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
1. In Tiger Cloud Console, open Exporters
2. Next to the exporter you want to edit, click menu > Delete
3. Confirm that you want to delete the data exporter.

Reference

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:
