# Managed ClickHouse® metrics available via Datadog


Learn what metrics are available via Datadog for Managed ClickHouse®
services.

## Send your metrics to Datadog

Metrics are forwarded to Datadog through an external endpoint: create a Datadog external
endpoint with your Datadog API key, then attach your Managed ClickHouse service to it.

```bash
exo dbaas external-endpoint create datadog my-datadog --datadog-api-key DATADOG_API_KEY
exo dbaas external-integration attach datadog \
  --source-service-name my-clickhouse \
  --destination-endpoint-id ENDPOINT_ID
```

See [Use External Integrations](/product/dbaas/how-to/external-integrations/) for the full
endpoint and integration workflow.

## Get a metrics list for your service

Exoscale forwards the same metric set that the service exposes on its Prometheus endpoint, so
the authoritative list for your own service is the one you scrape yourself. See
[Managed ClickHouse® metrics available via Prometheus](/product/dbaas/service-specific/clickhouse/reference/clickhouse-metrics-prometheus/)
for the families of metrics collected and the command that lists them.

For the metric names and semantics on the Datadog side, see the
[ClickHouse integration metrics](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/clickhouse/#metrics)
in the Datadog documentation.

> [!NOTE]
> The Datadog Agent installation described in the Datadog documentation does not apply to
> Managed ClickHouse: the service nodes are managed by Exoscale and are not accessible, so
> metrics are forwarded by the platform through the external endpoint described above.
