CHOps Pro
CHOps follows an open-core model. The core dashboard is the free Community edition. These guides document all of it, and it operates fully on its own. For teams that run ClickHouse® at scale, a commercial Pro edition adds more operational features on top of the core.
Licensing
The core uses the Apache License 2.0. Pro is sold separately.
| Edition | License | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Community (core) | Apache License 2.0 | The core dashboard: SQL editor, query profiling, monitoring, schema tools, logs, RBAC viewing, custom dashboards, backups, and more. |
| Pro | Commercial only | Advanced operational features on top of the core, and priority support. |
The Community core uses the Apache License 2.0. You can use, study, change, and redistribute it. You can also use it in commercial and closed-source products. Keep the license and the copyright notices. The full terms are in the LICENSE file.
Pro is commercial only. The Pro features are not part of the open-source repository, and they do not use the Apache License 2.0. They are distributed separately under a commercial license.
For Pro, go to ch-ops.io or speak to Quantrail™ Data.
What Pro adds
Pro adds to the Community core. It does not replace it. All the features that you use now stay the same. Pro adds capabilities for fleets, compliance, and long-term data operations.
- Scheduled Archival: automatic archival of ClickHouse® data to S3-compatible object storage on a schedule. See the section below.
- Audit logging: a tamper-evident record of all DDL, DML, and login events. You can search and export the record. Retention policies help with compliance reports.
- Scheduled email reports: dashboard snapshots and alert digests that CHOps sends on a schedule. You can customize the templates.
- Extended alerting: alert channels for Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and PagerDuty.
- Multi-cluster fleet management: manage many ClickHouse® clusters from one location through a lightweight sidecar agent.
- Priority support: direct support with faster response times.
Scheduled Archival
Scheduled Archival is a Pro feature. It moves data to less expensive, long-term storage on a schedule. Nobody has to run a SQL statement each time. It writes ClickHouse® data to S3-compatible object storage with the ClickHouse® s3() function. Thus, you can move old or cold data out at intervals that you set, and keep it for the time that your retention policy requires.
How it is different from Backups. The Backups (Data Lifecycle) feature in the Community edition uses native BACKUP and RESTORE for point-in-time recovery. It makes a consistent snapshot that you can restore after a failure. Scheduled Archival adds to Backups. It does not replace them. It is for continuous data lifecycle management. It exports data to object storage at regular intervals, for retention and cost control. It does not make restore points on demand. Many teams use the two together: native backups for recovery, and scheduled archival for long-term retention of data that they do not want in hot storage.
Scheduled Archival uses the same S3-compatible storage configuration as the rest of CHOps. Thus, all providers that operate with backups also operate with archival. Examples are Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and S3-compatible endpoints such as MinIO, Wasabi, and Cloudflare R2.
Scheduled Archival is part of the Pro edition. To get it, go to ch-ops.io or speak to Quantrail™ Data.
Select an edition
- If the Community core does what you need, use the open-source build under the Apache License 2.0.
- If you need audit trails, scheduled archival, scheduled reports, extended alerting, or multi-cluster fleet management, use Pro. Pro is commercial only.
