Data export

Metronome can send your sandbox and production data directly to your data warehouse, giving you the flexibility to build reports and dashboards with your favorite data tools.

Exporting data from Metronome is a simple process requiring a one-time setup of your data destination at https://app.metronome.com/connections/data-export. After the initial export, your data is updated automatically at least once a day (depending on the table).

Get started

To set up your destination data warehouse, contact your Metronome representative.

Supported destination types

Metronome supports data export to the most common data warehouses, databases, and object storage providers. We continue to add new providers; if your preferred vendor is not listed below, contact your Metronome representative.

One destination limit

Only a single destination for data exports can be configured across all Metronome environments. Distinct destinations cannot be set up for Production and Sandbox.

Data warehouse

BigQuery
Clickhouse
Databricks
Redshift
Snowflake

Database

Athena
MySQL
Postgres
SingleStore

Object storage

Google Cloud Storage
S3

The data appears in this folder structure:

<bucket_name>/<folder_name>/<table_name>/dt=<transfer_date>/<file_part>_<transfer_timestamp>.parquet

Where:

<bucket_name> and <folder_name> are provided during destination configuration.
<table_name> is the name of the table being transferred (see the schema tables below for examples).
<transfer_date> and <transfer_timestamp> are generated at transfer time and based on the transfer's start time. <transfer_date> is of the form 2025-01-01, while <transfer_timestamp> is of the form 20250102150405.
<file_part> is a monotonically increasing integer for a given timestamp, and does not carry any special meaning.

Append-Only

Object storage destinations listed above export files as an append-only log with at-least-once semantics. There will be rows with the same primary key in multiple files because of updates to the row or transfer retries. Metronome customers need to handle these appropriately by using the most recent data for each row.

Data availability

Metronome can export these types of sandbox and production data:

† Transfer frequency indicates the frequency at which new records get sent to your destination. †† Average Freshness indicates the average delay between when data is generated in Metronome and when the data appears in your destination.

Incremental data exports

Data exports of incremental tables contain only the rows of data that have changed since the last export. Use the updated_at column to pull the latest updates.

Alerts

Includes alerts and the history of customer alerts triggered.

Tables

alert
customer_alert_history

Example 1 - Fetch alerts with webhooks enabled

SELECT id, name, alert_type, threshold FROM alert WHERE webhooks_enabled = TRUE AND disabled_at IS NULL;

Example 2 - Fetch count of alerts by day over the last week

SELECT DATE_TRUNC("DAY", ah.created_at) AS alert_date, alert.name, COUNT(alert.id) AS triggered_count
FROM customer_alert_history ah
JOIN alert
    ON ah.alert_id = alert.id
GROUP BY 1, 2
ORDER BY 1;

Finalized Invoices

Includes all invoices to customers that have been finalized or voided. No further changes can be made to these invoices or their corresponding line items.

Tables

invoice
line_item

Example 1 - Fetch monthly invoice totals

SELECT DATE_TRUNC("MONTH", end_timestamp) AS month, COUNT(0) AS invoice_count, SUM(total) AS invoice_total FROM invoice
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;

Example 2 - Fetch monthly totals by line item type

SELECT DATE_TRUNC("MONTH", i.end_timestamp) AS month,
li.line_item_type
, SUM(li.total) AS total
FROM invoice i
JOIN line_item li ON i.id = li.invoice_id
GROUP BY 1, 2
ORDER BY 2, 1;

Charges

Includes variable and fixed charge information.

Tables

product
contracts_scheduled_charges

Contracts

Includes contract information. The archived_at column defines whether the contract has been archived or not.

Tables

contracts_contracts
contracts_commits
contracts_balances
contract_recurring_commits_and_credits
contracts_usage_filter_schedule
contracts_billing_provider_configuration
contracts_usage_filters

Example 1 - Fetch archived contracts

SELECT *
FROM contracts_contracts
WHERE archived_at = TRUE;

Contract Modifications

Includes any modifications of contracts. The contracts_overrides table holds any overrides on top of an existing contract. The contracts_transitions and contracts_edits tables contain information about contracts ending, renewing, or changing.

Tables

contracts_overrides
contracts_transitions
contracts_edits
contracts_amendments

Example 1 - Fetch the most recent overrides on a contract.

SELECT * FROM contracts_overrides
WHERE contract_id = <contract_id>
ORDER BY updated_at DESC;

Contract Pricing

Includes all information about pricing for a contract.

Tables

contracts_rate_cards
contracts_rate_card_entries
product_list_item_versions

Example 1 - Fetch the active rate card entry count per rate card.

SELECT crc.id AS rate_card_id, COUNT(*)
FROM contracts_rate_cards crc
JOIN contracts_rate_card_entries crce ON crc.id = crce.rate_card_id
WHERE crce.ending_before > NOW()
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;

Customers

Includes customer metadata stored in Metronome including their ingest aliases, which can be joined with the events table. The archived_at column is used to determine if the customer is active.

The contracts_billing_provider_configuration table adds further context on the billing provider for the customer.

Tables

customer
customer_billing_provider_configuration

Example 1 - Fetch total active customers

SELECT COUNT(0) FROM customer WHERE archived_at IS NULL;

Draft Invoices

Includes all invoices to customers that are in a draft state. These tables are daily snapshots of invoices based on each customer's configuration and usage at a point-in-time during the day. The updated_at column is the time that the invoice row was calculated while the snapshot_time corresponds to the start of day (UTC). An invoice row will be populated once per day throughout a billing period until it is finalized or voided.

If an invoice is in a DRAFT_INCOMPLETE state, it means that Metronome hasn't fully computed the invoice. There will be no line items or total on the invoice. Exporting these invoices lets you know that the invoice exists, but Metronome has failed to compute it for some reason. Exporting incomplete invoices enables Metronome to send data to the specified destination as soon as possible. We expect these incomplete invoices to be hydrated in future snapshots.

Tables

draft_invoice
draft_line_item

Example 1 - Fetch daily invoice totals

SELECT snapshot_time, COUNT(0) AS invoice_count, SUM(total) AS invoice_total FROM draft_invoice
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;

Example 2 - Fetch invoice total by contract from most recent snapshot

SELECT contract_id, COUNT(0) AS invoice_count, SUM(total) AS invoice_total FROM draft_invoice
WHERE snapshot_time = (SELECT MAX(snapshot_time) FROM draft_invoice)
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;

Events

The full set of deduplicated raw events received by Metronome, regardless of whether or not they matched a billable metric.

Tables

events

Example 1 - Fetch event count per month

SELECT DATE_TRUNC('MONTH', timestamp), COUNT(0) FROM events
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;
