Salesforce and Nebius Cloud Monitoring Integration

Input and output integration overview

The Salesforce Telegraf plugin collects crucial metrics regarding the API usage and limits in Salesforce organizations, enabling effective monitoring and management of API consumption.

This plugin allows users to effortlessly send aggregated metrics to Nebius Cloud Monitoring, leveraging the cloud’s monitoring solutions.

Integration details

Salesforce

The Salesforce plugin allows users to gather metrics about API usage limits and the remaining usage within their Salesforce organization. By leveraging Salesforce’s REST API, specifically the limits endpoint, this plugin provides critical insights into how much of the API usage has been consumed and what remains available. This is particularly important for organizations that rely on Salesforce for their operations, as exceeding API limits can interrupt service and hinder business processes. The plugin processes data into a structured format containing maximum and remaining values for various API operations, making it easier for teams to monitor their usage and plan accordingly. The provided configuration allows users to customize their credentials, environment type (sandbox or production), and API version, ensuring flexibility in different deployment scenarios.

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

The Nebius Cloud Monitoring plugin serves as an intermediary to send custom metrics to the Nebius Cloud Monitoring service. It is designed specifically to facilitate the monitoring of applications and services running within the Nebius ecosystem. This plugin is especially useful for users of the Nebius Cloud Platform who need to leverage cloud-based monitoring capabilities without significant configuration overhead. The plugin’s integration relies on Google Cloud metadata, allowing it to automatically fetch the necessary authentication credentials from the Compute instance it operates within. Key technical considerations include the management of reserved labels to ensure metrics are recorded correctly without conflicts.

Configuration

Salesforce

[[inputs.salesforce]]
  ## specify your credentials
  ##
  username = "your_username"
  password = "your_password"
  ##
  ## (optional) security token
  # security_token = "your_security_token"
  ##
  ## (optional) environment type (sandbox or production)
  ## default is: production
  ##
  # environment = "production"
  ##
  ## (optional) API version (default: "39.0")
  ##
  # version = "39.0"

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

[[outputs.nebius_cloud_monitoring]]
  ## Timeout for HTTP writes.
  # timeout = "20s"

  ## Nebius.Cloud monitoring API endpoint. Normally should not be changed
  # endpoint = "https://monitoring.api.il.nebius.cloud/monitoring/v2/data/write"

Input and output integration examples

Salesforce

1. Monitoring API Limit Usage for Scaling Decisions: Use the Salesforce plugin to track API limit usage over time and make informed decisions about when to scale Salesforce resources. By visualizing API consumption patterns, organizations can predict peak usage times, allowing them to proactively adjust their infrastructure or request higher limits as needed. This optimization leads to better performance and less downtime during critical business operations.

2. Automated Alert System for API Limit Exceedance: Integrate this plugin with a notification system to alert teams when API usage approaches critical limits. This setup not only ensures teams are proactively notified to prevent disruptions, but also helps in maintaining operational continuity and customer satisfaction. The alerts can be configured to trigger automated scripts that either adjust load or inform stakeholders accordingly.

3. Comparative Analysis of Multiple Salesforces: Leverage the Salesforce Input Plugin to gather metrics from multiple Salesforce instances across different departments or business units. By centralizing this data, organizations can perform comparative analyses to identify departments that may be exceeding their API limits more frequently than others. This allows for targeted discussions and strategies to balance API usage across the organization, leading to better resource allocation and efficiency.

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

1. Dynamic Application Monitoring: Integrate this plugin with your application to continuously send metrics related to resource usage, such as CPU and memory utilization, to Nebius Cloud Monitoring. By doing so, you can gain insights into the performance of your application, allowing for adjustments in real-time based on the metrics received.

2. Incident Response Automation: Use the Nebius Cloud Monitoring plugin to automatically send alerts and metrics when certain thresholds are reached. For instance, if a particular service’s uptime drops below a certain percentage, the plugin can be configured to report this directly to the monitoring service, enabling quicker incident response and resolution.

3. Comparative Service Analysis: Set up the plugin to send metrics from multiple cloud instances running different versions of the same application to Nebius Cloud Monitoring. This approach allows for a comparative analysis of resource usage and performance, helping teams determine which version performs best under similar workloads.

4. Aggregated Metrics Dashboard: Use this plugin to create a centralized dashboard displaying metrics from various services across your cloud instances. By aggregating different application metrics into one interface, stakeholders can assess the overall health and performance of their cloud environment easily.
