How to load data from Statuspage to Clickhouse

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Statuspage data into Clickhouse within minutes.

TL;DR

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:

  1. set up Statuspage as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Clickhouse as a destination connector
  3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

  1. A Statuspage account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Clickhouse account.
  3. An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Statuspage and Clickhouse, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Statuspage to Clickhouse, it extracts data from Statuspage using the source connector, converts it into a format Clickhouse can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Clickhouse via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Statuspage data for advanced analytics and insights within Clickhouse, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Statuspage as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" in the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "Create New Source" button and select "Statuspage" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter a name for your Statuspage source connector and click "Next".
4. In the "Connection Configuration" section, enter your Statuspage API key and page ID. You can find your API key in your Statuspage account settings, and your page ID can be found in the URL of your Statuspage dashboard.
5. Click "Test Connection" to ensure that your credentials are correct and that Airbyte can connect to your Statuspage account.
6. Once the connection is successful, click "Next" to configure your sync settings. Here, you can choose which data you want to sync from your Statuspage account, such as incidents, components, or metrics.
7. You can also set up a schedule for your sync, so that Airbyte will automatically pull new data from your Statuspage account at regular intervals.
8. Once you have configured your sync settings, click "Create Source" to save your Statuspage source connector.
9. You can now use this connector to sync your Statuspage data with other destinations in Airbyte, such as a data warehouse or BI tool.

Step 2: Set up Clickhouse as a destination connector

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Statuspage data to Clickhouse

Once you've successfully connected Statuspage as a data source and Clickhouse as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select Statuspage from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Clickhouse from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
  4. Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Statuspage objects you want to import data from towards Clickhouse. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
  6. Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Statuspage to Clickhouse according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Clickhouse data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Statuspage data.

Use Cases to transfer your Statuspage data to Clickhouse

Integrating data from Statuspage to Clickhouse provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

  1. Advanced Analytics: Clickhouse’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Statuspage data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Statuspage alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Statuspage, syncing to Clickhouse allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
  3. Historical Data Analysis: Statuspage has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Clickhouse allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
  4. Data Security and Compliance: Clickhouse provides robust data security features. Syncing Statuspage data to Clickhouse ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
  5. Scalability: Clickhouse can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Statuspage data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Statuspage data in Clickhouse, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
  7. Reporting and Visualization: While Statuspage provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Clickhouse, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Statuspage table that needs to be converted to a Clickhouse table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

  1. Configure a Statuspage account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure Clickhouse as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Statuspage to Clickhouse after you set a schedule

With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
