Export metrics

Export universe metrics to third-party tools

You can export universe metrics to third-party tools for analysis and customization.

Prerequisite

  • In versions earlier than v2026.1.2.0, enable metrics export by setting the Enable Metrics Export Global Configuration option (config key yb.universe.metrics_export_enabled) to true. Refer to Manage runtime configuration settings. Starting in v2026.1.2.0, metrics export is enabled by default.

  • Create an export configuration. A configuration defines the sign in credentials and settings for the tool that you want to export metrics to. Refer to Manage export configurations.

Limitations

On Kubernetes universes, metrics export requires YugabyteDB v2026.1.2.0 (or preview v2.31.0.0) or later, and the OpenTelemetry Operator on the cluster.

You can export metrics from YB-Master, YB-TServer, YSQL, YCQL, and the OpenTelemetry Collector. Node and Node agent metrics cannot be exported on Kubernetes; those sources are not present in the database pods.
