Offload to third-party systems

Offload your API event data for storage on a third-party system.

The analytics event data that is sent from the gateway to analytics can be offloaded to a third-party system in real time. The third-party system can provide enhanced monitoring, alerting, storage, and analysis, in addition to what the built-in analytics subsystem provides. Multiple target systems are supported, and the data can be modified before offloading.

APIC supports offloading analytics data to the following third-party systems:
  • HTTP endpoints
  • OpenSearch
  • Elasticsearch
  • Apache Kafka
  • Syslog servers

You can configure two offload targets that run in parallel. If you want to offload to more than two targets, you can append additional targets to your second offload target configuration.

If you do not need internal storage and want to use only the third-party system for working with your analytics data, consider disabling internal storage entirely as explained in Disable local storage.
