Amazon Redshift

Crawler Crawler

Overview

Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service that makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze all your data.

Enable this integration to see all your Redshift metrics in Datadog.

Setup

Installation

If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.

Metric collection

  1. In the AWS integration tile, ensure that Redshift is checked under metric collection.

  2. Add these permissions to your Datadog IAM policy in order to collect Amazon Redshift metrics:

    • redshift:DescribeClusters: List all Redshift Clusters in your account.
    • redshift:DescribeLoggingStatus: Get S3 bucket where Redshift logs are stored.
    • tag:GetResources: Get custom tags on your Redshift cluters.

    For more information on Redshift policies, review the documentation on the AWS website.

  3. Install the Datadog - AWS Redshift integration.

Log collection

Enable AWS Redshift logging

Enable the logging on your Redshift Cluster first to collect your logs. Redshift logs can be written to an AWS S3 bucket and consumed by a Lambda function. For more information, refer to the AWS documentation

Send logs to Datadog

  1. If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function.

  2. Once the lambda function is installed, there are two ways to collect your Redshift logs:

Manual installation steps

  1. If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function.
  2. Once the lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket that contains your Redshift logs in the AWS console, in your Lambda, click on S3 in the trigger list:
    S3 trigger configuration
    Configure your trigger by choosing the S3 bucket that contains your Redshift logs and change the event type to Object Created (All) then click on the add button.
    S3 Lambda trigger configuration

Once done, go in your Datadog Log section to start exploring your logs!

Data Collected

Metrics

aws.redshift.commit_queue_length
(count)		The number of transactions ahead of a transaction in the commit queue.
Shown as transaction
aws.redshift.concurrency_scaling_active_clusters
(count)		The number of concurrency scaling clusters that are actively processing queries at any given time.
aws.redshift.concurrency_scaling_seconds
(gauge)		The number of seconds used by concurrency scaling clusters that have active query processing activity.
Shown as second

Shown as microsecond
aws.redshift.wlmqueue_length
(count)		The number of queries waiting to enter a workload management (WLM) queue.
Shown as query
aws.redshift.wlmqueue_wait_time
(gauge)		The total time queries spent waiting in the workload management (WLM) queue.
Shown as millisecond
aws.redshift.wlmrunning_queries
(count)		The number of queries running from both the main cluster and Concurrency Scaling cluster per WLM queue.
