This feature is currently not supported for Tiger Cloud on AWS.

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:

  1. In Tiger Console, open Exporters

  2. Click New exporter

  3. Select Metrics for Data type and Azure Monitor for provider

    Add Azure Monitor exporter

  4. Choose the region for your exporter

  5. Provide a name for your exporter

    The exporter name appears in Tiger Console, best practice is to make this name easily understandable.

  6. Add your connection string

    Learn where to find your connection string.

  7. Click Create exporter

Your exporter is created and added to the list of already existing exporters.

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

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:

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

You can now monitor your service metrics.

To update a data exporter:

  1. In Tiger Console, open Exporters
  2. Next to the exporter you want to edit, click the menu > Edit
  3. Edit the exporter fields and save your changes

To remove a data exporter that you no longer need:

  1. Disconnect the data exporter from your Tiger Cloud service

    1. In Tiger Console, choose the service.
    2. Click Operations > Exporters.
    3. Click the trash can icon next to the exporter.
    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.

  2. Delete the exporter on the project level

    1. In Tiger 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.
