During the use of the AutoMQ Cloud product, users can achieve data exchange between instances within the environment and external systems through the integration features. This article introduces the use of the integration features.
In this article, references to the AutoMQ product service provider, AutoMQ service provider, and AutoMQ specifically refer to AutoMQ HK Limited.

​
Integration Types

AutoMQ Cloud supports the following integration features:

​
Creating Prometheus Integration

​
Prerequisites

The principle behind the Prometheus integration feature in AutoMQ Cloud is that each data node in the cluster directly writes metrics data to the Prometheus HTTP endpoint using the RemoteWrite protocol. Therefore, the provided Prometheus service must have RemoteWrite enabled.

​
Integrating with a Self-Built Prometheus Service

This feature requires the user’s Prometheus service to meet the following conditions:
  • During cluster deployment, the RemoteWrite configuration must be enabled in the startup command.

​
Integration with Cloud Providers’ Prometheus Services

If users are utilizing a managed service provided by Public Cloud providers, it is recommended to consult their technical support. For example, Alibaba Cloud’s Prometheus service offers out-of-the-box support for RemoteWrite.

​
Operation Steps

You can create a Prometheus integration by following these steps:
  1. Navigate to the integration list page and create a new integration. Users should access the environment console, click on Integrations in the left navigation bar to enter the integration list page. Click on Create Integration, and follow the prompts to enter the following information to complete the creation.
  1. Navigate to the instance details page and reference the integration configuration. For instances that require integration configuration, navigate to the respective instance details page, reference the integration item created in the first step, enable the configuration, and subsequently check if data is being reported in the Prometheus service.
For detailed metrics data definitions provided by AutoMQ Cloud, please refer to Monitoring & Alert via Prometheus▸.

​
Creating Apache Kafka Integration

​
Prerequisites

The principle of integrating Apache Kafka in AutoMQ Cloud is to use the Kafka Connector component to connect with external Kafka clusters (including other Kafka-compatible versions) to achieve real-time synchronization and migration of messages and other data. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure:
  • The external Apache Kafka cluster version is higher than 0.9.x.
  • The network between the external Kafka cluster and AutoMQ is unimpeded.

​
Operation Steps

Users can create an Apache Kafka integration by following these steps:
  1. Navigate to the integration list page and create a new integration. Users should access the environment console, click on Integrations in the left navigation bar to enter the integration list page. Click on Create Integration, and follow the prompts to enter the following information to complete the creation.

​
Creating CloudWatch Integration

​
Prerequisites

The principle of AutoMQ Cloud’s CloudWatch integration function is to write the metrics data of the AutoMQ cluster into the user-specified CloudWatch Namespace via the CloudWatch API.

​
Operation Steps

Users can create a CloudWatch integration by following these steps:
  1. Navigate to the integration list page and create a new integration. Users should access the environment console, click on Integrations in the left navigation bar to enter the integration list page. Click on Create Integration, and follow the prompts to enter the following information to complete the creation.
