Manage EMQX Tables Deployments
This guide covers how to manage your EMQX Tables deployments in the EMQX Console, including:
- Network Management
- Monitoring resource usage
- Deleting a deployment
Prerequisite
You must have an active EMQX Tables deployment created in your project. See Create an EMQX Tables Deployment for setup instructions.
Network Management
EMQX Tables allows you to securely access your deployment using AWS PrivateLink. This is particularly useful when you want to establish a private connection between your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and EMQX Tables without exposing traffic to the public internet.
To configure AWS PrivateLink for your deployment:
- Click Network Management from the left menu in your EMQX Tables deployment.
- Click + PrivateLink.
- Follow the instructions in the Guidelines dialogue to create a VPC endpoint in your AWS Console.
- Paste the Endpoint ID and click Create PrivateLink.
Monitor Resource Usage
To monitor the resource usage and performance of your EMQX Tables deployment:
- Enter your EMQX Tables deployment from the Console Overview page, or from your project page.
- In the left menu of the EMQX Tables deployment, click Monitor.
The Monitor page displays real-time and historical metrics, including:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU usage (%) | Current and historical CPU utilization |
| Memory usage (GB) | RAM consumption of your deployment |
| Storage (GB) | Compressed data size stored |
| Egress Traffic (GB) | Data transferred out from EMQX Tables |
| WCU (Write Capacity Unit) | One WCU can handle one standard insert request (up to 1 KB in size) per second. This metric helps evaluate ingestion performance. |
| RCU (Read Capacity Unit) | Measures read throughput. Like WCU, it reflects operational performance |
You can view data over various time ranges: 1 Hour, 1 Day, 3 Days, 7 Days, 1 Month, and 3 Months.
Delete a Deployment
To remove an EMQX Tables deployment:
- Go to Deployment Settings in the left menu.
- Click Delete Deployment.
- Confirm the operation in the prompt.
Warning
Deletion is permanent. All data and credentials will be lost.
