TrueWatch Integration

Redpeaks collects data (including SAP sources like SAP HANA and ABAP) and sends it to TrueWatch

Before You Start

  • TrueWatch DataKit is installed and reachable from Redpeaks
  • You have a DataKit API Token and the DataKit URL (http/https + port)
  • Firewall allows outbound traffic from Redpeaks to DataKit

Fields

Field What it means Example / Notes
Active Turn the integration on or off Keep ON to send data
Name Display name of this integration Truewatch QA
URL DataKit endpoint (TrueWatch) https://truewatch.example.com:9529
API Token Token generated by DataKit for this integration Paste exact value from DataKit
Max queue size Max number of items buffered locally if TrueWatch is slow/unavailable Default '100000' works for most sites
Batch size Number of items sent per request - Larger batches = higher throughput. Default '50000' - Reduce if network limits apply
Metric Mode How metrics are labeled/mapped STANDARD
Send Alarms Send alarms (events) to TrueWatch enabled
Send Metrics Send metrics/telemetry to TrueWatch enabled
Send Metadata Send host/item metadata (inventory/tags) enabled
Mode Rule Result
DEFAULT Use the whole key as the measurement, the field is fixed to value 'cpu.usage' → measurement = 'cpu.usage', field = 'value'
CUSTOM Split the key, the part after the dot is the field
if there is no dot, we keep the whole key as measurement and set field to value
'cpu.usage' → measurement = 'cpu', field = 'usage'

Notes

  • Prefer HTTPS for the DataKit URL
  • Keep time synchronized (NTP) between Collector and TrueWatch
  • Tune Max queue size and Batch size if you expect very high volumes
  • This plugin does not read from TrueWatch, it only exports to it

Troubleshooting

  • Auth failed - Check the API Token in Collector matches the token created in DataKit
  • Cannot connect - Verify the URL/port, DNS/SSL, and firewall rules toward DataKit
  • No data visible - Confirm Send Alarms/Metrics/Metadata toggles, and check DataKit/TrueWatch ingestion logs
