Monthly Data Notifications to Slack

[DOGUSENSI]

Is there a way to send monthly read/write counts and storage space to Slack?

Hi @DOGUSENSI,

I have a couple ideas for you!

• First, for storage, we have a weekly email report that shows slow queries and DB usage. That could be auto forwarded to Slack.
• Another option would be the Datadog integration. With it, you'd get your PlanetScale read/write/storage data available in Datadog. You should then be able to get that data into Slack via the Datadog + Slack integration.

With datadog, it could also be useful for setting up custom alerts around usage. Which may be better than a monthly notification.

Hello, @mscoutermarsh !

Thanks for the interesting and practical ideas. I was only thinking of getting the information through the webAPI provided by planetscale. Both ideas are appealing, but I will consider using datadog.
