Introducing: Metrics exports to Datadog, Grafana and more

Leverage our new Datadog and Prometheus integrations to set up custom metrics and alerting.

Observability is one of the core focuses of Inngest. Following the revamp of our traces view and monitoring last September, we are thrilled to introduce the Datadog and Prometheus integrations.

As more and more customers are growing with Inngest, we've seen a need to integrate Inngest metrics into existing monitoring and alerting systems. The Datadog and Prometheus integrations are now available on all paid plans to export a wide range of metrics, from function runs, SDK requests, to step executions, into your existing monitoring and alerting systems.

Datadog integration: ready-to-use dashboards and custom alerting

Our Datadog integration can be installed in a few clicks, without any agent configuration.

Once installed, you can use our ready-to-use dashboards to monitor your Inngest functions and set up custom alerting:

A Datadog dashboard using Inngest metrics

The Datadog integration exports over 12 metrics, with a granularity down to the minute and in real-time (depending on your plan).

Get started with the Datadog integration.

Prometheus integration: metrics for New Relic, Grafana, and more

The Prometheus integration enables exporting up to 9 metrics to Prometheus-compatible monitoring systems such as New Relic, Grafana.

This integration is available on all paid plans and offers more flexibility by enabling self-hosted or custom monitoring systems support.

Get started with the Prometheus integration.

Looking forward

The observability of Inngest Functions is constantly evolving. Here is a glimpse of what we are working on:

  • Alerting: we are working on an alerting feature, allowing you to create alerts in the Inngest dashboard.
  • More metrics: We are also exploring the possibility of including our AI traces in these integrations.

All Inngest features are built with the community in mind. If you have any feature requests, please vote or submit them on our roadmap page.
