Data Sent to Feldera

Feldera Enterprise sends license checks and pipeline lifecycle events to the Feldera cloud API.

Channel	Edition	Sender	Destination	Enabled when
License check	Enterprise	Control plane	cloud1.feldera.com	Always (Enterprise requires a license key)
Pipeline telemetry	Enterprise	Kubernetes runner	cloud1.feldera.com	Always

License check

The control plane validates the Enterprise license key with an HTTPS request that carries only the license key. The server replies with the license status, which confirms validity via time and expiry.

Pipeline telemetry

Feldera sends pipeline telemetry to measure usage. Pipeline IDs are hashed.

{
  "account_id": "<account ID>",
  "license_key": "<license key>",
  "event": { "PipelineProvisioned": { "id_hash": "<hash of the pipeline ID>" } }
}

Field	Meaning
account_id	The Feldera account that owns the license (Helm value felderaAccountId)
license_key	The Enterprise license key (Helm value felderaLicenseKey)
event	One of the events below

Event	Sent when	Payload
PipelineProvisioned	A pipeline finishes provisioning	id_hash
PipelineShutdownFinished	The runner deletes a pipeline's resources	id_hash
PipelineStatistics	Periodically while a pipeline is provisioned	id_hash, statistics

id_hash is the hex-encoded SHA-256 hash of the pipeline ID: it lets Feldera correlate events from one pipeline without receiving the ID.

Pipeline statistics

The global_metrics object from the /stats response is sent to Feldera. Feldera also includes the input and output connector counts.

{
  "PipelineStatistics": {
    "id_hash": "<hash of the pipeline ID>",
    "statistics": {
      "num_inputs": 2,
      "num_outputs": 1,
      "global_metrics": { "state": "Running", "rss_bytes": 1073741824, "...": "..." }
    }
  }
}

global_metrics holds statistics about the pipeline. The fields depend on the pipeline's Feldera version. The global_metrics section of the /stats API reference defines each field.

A statistics event carries no SQL program, table data, pipeline name, or connector configuration.
