Datum provides baseline “proof of life” dashboards in our customer portal, but expect that most users would prefer to view Datum telemetry alongside other metrics. Datum collects OpenTelemetry metrics from your Datum infrastructure and services, providing visibility into the performance and health of your workloads.

​
Exporting to Grafana

We support exporting metrics to Grafana Cloud using ExportPolicies. Each ExportPolicy defines:
  • Sources: Select metrics using MetricSQL queries to filter which telemetry data to export
  • Sinks: Configure destination endpoints where metrics should be sent (Prometheus remote write endpoints for Grafana Cloud)
You can quickly setup an Export Policy via the Datum Portal. Just go to the project of your choice and find the Metrics tab, then follow the instructions.
