Export your Monitoring

Monitoring Exporter

One of the options Storefront Hosting offers in the "Settings" section is "Monitoring Exporter", which enables you to export the monitoring data, like logs, metrics and traces, to an external monitoring service your organization is using, all through Open Telemetry.

The focus is to empower you to use your preferred, familiar monitoring platform for deeper analysis of the application health and behavior. It ensures you maintain full observability and control over your Storefront Application's performance, even as the underlying infrastructure is managed by us.

To add a service, simply click on the "Add New" button and fill in the required configuration. Once the connected service has been saved, the integration is ready to be used. Currently supported services are:

We are simultaneously working on expanding the list to other monitoring services.

Datadog

When adding the Datadog exporter, you need to fill in two fields:

Address: This needs to be a pointer to the correct Datadog instance, such as datadoghq.eu for EU customers.
API Key: This is the Datadog API key. Find out how to easily locate or create the API key for your organization here.

After successfully connecting to Datadog, you can locate the data within your Datadog instance by searching for the default "Service Name" of your Storefront Application, which is storefront.

OTLP Endpoint: This needs to be the URL of your Grafana OTLP Endpoint.
