For that you need: - A source service - A destination service ![Best practices](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_best_practice.png) :::warning Although it is possible to define the same cluster as destination service and source service, this is a bad practice for multiple reasons (performance, security, resiliency, ...) ::: ![Bad practices](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_bad_practice.png) ### Integration matrix - All services support logs to opensearch & kafka\_logs to kafka. - All services support metrics to pg.

Click on `Add an integration `: ![Service integration](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration-20220708155356795.png) Define the `Integration type ` and the `Destination service `: :::warning First create a Public Cloud Database for your _Destination_ service via your Control Panel or API. ::: ![Create integration](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_creation.png) Your first integration is ready: ![Result](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_list_example.png) :::info Note that this integration creation may have created two users, respectively: `metrics_reader` and `metrics_writer` in your engine instance. ![Users & Roles](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration-20220708170641519.png) Don't delete them. ::: #### Allow metrics visualization into Dashboards service Go to the `Service integration ` tab of your `Destination service` service and click on `Add an integration ` ![Service integration](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_list_add.png) :::info As you can see, the first integration is referenced. ::: Define `grafanaDashboard` as `Integration type ` and the `Source service `: ![Create integration](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_creation_grafana.png) Your second integration is ready: ![Result](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_list_example_2.png) Connect to your Dashboards instance and browse the dashboards: ![Browse Dashboards](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration-2022070814063719.png) Then open your new dashboard:

![Get Integration Capabilities](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_api_capa_integration.png) #### Store yours logs or metrics As a first step, you need to push your metrics or logs somewhere, in order to store them and retrieve the metrics with Dashboards. For that, you need to create a new integration: **Dashboards** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/grafana/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/grafana/-clusterId-/integration) **Kafka** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafka/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafka/-clusterId-/integration) **Kafka Connect** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafkaConnect/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafkaConnect/-clusterId-/integration) **Kafka MirrorMaker** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafkaMirrorMaker/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafkaMirrorMaker/-clusterId-/integration) **MySQL** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/mysql/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/mysql/-clusterId-/integration) **OpenSearch** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/opensearch/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/opensearch/-clusterId-/integration) **PostgreSQL** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/postgresql/-clusterId-/integration) **Valkey** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/caching/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/caching/-clusterId-/integration) Fill in the form with the information corresponding to the type of integration chosen. ![Create a new integration](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_api_post_integration.png) The `destionationServiceId` and the `sourceServiceId` correspond to the destination cluster ID and to the source cluster ID. #### Allow metrics visualization into Dashboards service Now that metrics are stored somewhere, you need to connect your Public Cloud Databases service to a Dashboards service. For that, first create a Public Cloud Database for Dashboards via our Control Panel or API. Once done, get the `GrafanaDashboard` integration capability related to the destination service: ![Get Dashboards integration capabilitie](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration_api_capa_integration.png) Then create a second integration from your _Destination_ service name: **Dashboards** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/grafana/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/grafana/-clusterId-/integration) **Kafka** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafka/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafka/-clusterId-/integration) **Kafka Connect** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafkaConnect/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafkaConnect/-clusterId-/integration) **Kafka MirrorMaker** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafkaMirrorMaker/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafkaMirrorMaker/-clusterId-/integration) **MySQL** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/mysql/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/mysql/-clusterId-/integration) **OpenSearch** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/opensearch/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/opensearch/-clusterId-/integration) **PostgreSQL** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/postgresql/-clusterId-/integration) **Valkey** 🇪🇺EU▾ [POST/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/caching/{clusterId}/integration](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#post-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/caching/-clusterId-/integration) ![Create Dashboards Integration](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration-20220708180105894.png) Connect to your Dashboards instance and browse the dashboards: ![Browse Dashboards](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration-2022070814063719.png) Then open your new dashboard: ![PostgreSQL Dashboard](/images/public-cloud/databases/databases-07-cross-service-integration/databases_07_cross_service_integration-20220708184410774.png) ## We want your feedback!
