Cockpit capabilities and limits

Reviewed on 31 October 2023Published on 05 September 2023

This page provides information about the capabilities and limits of Scaleway’s Observability Cockpit.

Cockpit dashboard updates

Starting April 2024, a new version of Cockpit will be released.

In this version, the concept of regionalization will be introduced to offer you more flexibility and resilience for seamless monitoring. If you have created customized dashboards with data for your Scaleway resources before April 2024, you will need to update your queries in Grafana, with the new regionalized data sources.

Retention period of your data

Scaleway offers several retention periods, depending on your data types. The retention period varies depending on the pricing plan you have selected.

Find out more information about how Cockpit is billed depending on your data types in the FAQ.

Product integration into Cockpit

The following table provides details about the products that are integrated into Cockpit. This means that you can have metrics and/or logs and/or alerts in your Cockpit for the products mentioned below. This also means that if products are not integrated into Cockpit, the resources’ metrics and logs are not free of charge.

Refer to our documentation on understanding Cockpit usage and pricing for more information on how to reduce extra costs.

Important
  • Having the default configuration on your agents might lead to more of your resources’ metrics being sent, a high consumption and a high bill at the end of the month.
  • Sending metrics and logs for Scaleway resources or personal data using an external path is a billable feature. In addition, any data that you push yourself is billed, even if you send data from Scaleway products. Refer to the product pricing for more information.
