Why teams connect Sysaid and TimescaleDB

Mirror Sysaid's data into TimescaleDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in TimescaleDB.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Assets, Configuration Items (CIs), Companies from Sysaid into Regular PostgreSQL Tables, Views, Schemas, Hypertables in TimescaleDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Assets and Configuration Items with an external CMDB or asset database so inventory and ticket linkage share one source of truth.
  • 02 Stream Service Records into a warehouse for SLA, backlog, and MTTR reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.
  • 04 Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.

Common sync patterns

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in TimescaleDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in TimescaleDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Sysaid and TimescaleDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Sysaid objects TimescaleDB objects How this pairing syncs
Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Configuration Items (CIs) is specific to Sysaid and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Companies is specific to Sysaid and Views to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Custom Fields is specific to Sysaid and Schemas to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Incidents is specific to Sysaid and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Service Requests is specific to Sysaid and Chunks to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Problems is specific to Sysaid and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Sysaid and TimescaleDB

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Sysaid TimescaleDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to TimescaleDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

TimescaleDB Sysaid Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.
  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

How the Sysaid and TimescaleDB connectors work

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
