Third-party monitoring integrations

BigAnimal provides support for third-party monitoring integrations for using both your own account and BigAnimal's cloud account.

Monitoring integrations are configured at the project level in BigAnimal. You can't turn these integrations on or off for individual clusters. An admin or a project owner can set up an integration. You can set up only one integration per project.

By default, all the integrations are disabled. After creating the project, enable an integration using the Integrations tab.

All the metrics collected from all the clusters in the project are sent to the integrated tool and displayed in the BigAnimal Monitoring and logging tab using BigAnimal's Observability. The collected logs are exported to the object storage by default.

You can enable in-app inbox or email notifications so that you're notified if third-party monitoring integration fails. For more information, see Managing notifications.

The third-party integrations available in BigAnimal are:

Metric naming

When metrics from BigAnimal are exported to third-party monitoring services, they're renamed according to the naming conventions of the target platform.

The following table provides a mapping between BigAnimal metric names and the name that metric will be assigned when exported to a third-party service.

Kubernetes metrics

In addition to these metrics, which pertain to the Postgres instances, BigAnimal also exports metrics from the underlying Kubernetes infrastructure. These are prefixed with k8s..
