Export Astra DB metrics to an external system
Enterprises depend on the ability to view database health metrics in centralized systems along with their other software metrics. The Astra DB Metrics feature lets you forward Astra DB database health metrics to an external third-party metrics system. We refer to the recipient of the exported metrics as the destination system.
Introduction
The functionality provided by the Astra DB Metrics feature is often referred to as:
-
Observability
-
External monitoring
-
Third-party metrics
-
Prometheus monitoring integration
Astra DB supports exporting health metrics from its serverless databases to:
-
Open-source Apache Kafka®
-
Splunk (via DevOps API)
-
Pulsar (via DevOps API)
-
Datadog (via DevOps API)
You can also use Grafana or Grafana Cloud as a visualization tool.
