configuring-log-export

configuring-log-export is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cockroachlabs/cockroachdb-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,306 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for sending CockroachDB Cloud logs and performance metrics to outside monitoring services. It covers AWS CloudWatch, GCP Cloud Logging, and Datadog.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure or troubleshoot log and metric export, verify SQL audit-log delivery, estimate logging costs, or set up the configuration with Terraform.
Why use it?
It helps teams centralize database activity and audit records, check whether delivery works, and investigate missing logs. It also explains required cloud permissions and plan limits.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

configuring-log-export scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Configuring Log Export

Configures log and metric export for CockroachDB Cloud clusters to deliver cluster logs, audit logs, and performance metrics to external monitoring services. Supports AWS CloudWatch, GCP Cloud Logging, and third-party integrations like Datadog.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up log export to AWS CloudWatch or GCP Cloud Logging
  • Configuring metric export to CloudWatch or Datadog
  • Verifying that SQL audit logs are being exported to an external sink
  • Troubleshooting log export errors or missing logs
  • Estimating CloudWatch or logging service costs for CockroachDB log volume
  • Configuring log export via Terraform

Prerequisites

  • CockroachDB Cloud Advanced plan — Log export is not available on Basic or Standard plans
  • ccloud CLI authenticated with Cluster Admin role
  • Cloud provider setup:
    • AWS: CloudWatch Logs group created, IAM role granting CockroachDB Cloud cross-account access
    • GCP: Cloud Logging API enabled, service account with Logs Writer role
  • Cluster ID: Available from ccloud cluster list

Verify access:

ccloud auth whoami
ccloud cluster info <cluster-name> -o json
# Look for "plan": "ADVANCED"

Configuration Decisions

Before proceeding, determine which export destinations apply to the user's environment. Ask which options are relevant, then follow only the corresponding sections below.

Decision 1 — Log export destination:

  • AWS CloudWatch: Use when the cluster runs on AWS and logs should go to CloudWatch Logs. Requires IAM cross-account role setup.
  • GCP Cloud Logging: Use when the cluster runs on GCP. Requires a service account with Logs Writer role.

Decision 2 — Metric export destination:

  • CloudWatch: Use when metrics should go to AWS CloudWatch. Requires IAM role with cloudwatch:PutMetricData permission.
  • Datadog: Use when metrics should go to Datadog. Requires a Datadog API key and site.
  • Skip: No metric export needed at this time.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
