• Prerequisites
• Export Tiger Cloud service telemetry to Prometheus

[Prometheus][prometheus] is an open-source monitoring system with a dimensional data model, flexible query language, and a modern alerting approach.

This page shows you how to export your service telemetry to Prometheus:

• For Tiger Cloud, using a dedicated Prometheus exporter in Tiger Cloud Console.
• For self-hosted TimescaleDB, using [Postgres Exporter][postgresql-exporter].

To follow the steps on this page:

• [Download and run Prometheus][install-prometheus].
• For Tiger Cloud:

Create a target [Tiger Cloud service][create-service] with the time-series and analytics capability enabled.

• For self-hosted TimescaleDB:
  • Create a target [self-hosted TimescaleDB][enable-timescaledb] instance. You need your [connection details][connection-info].
  • [Install Postgres Exporter][install-exporter]. To reduce latency and potential data transfer costs, install Prometheus and Postgres Exporter on a machine in the same AWS region as your Tiger Cloud service.
