With integrations, we give our users an out of the box experience to integrate with their infrastructure and services. If you are using our integrations, eventually you will automatically get all the benefits of TSDS for your metrics assuming you are on version 8.7 or newer.
Currently we are working through the list of our integration packages, add the dimensions, metric type fields and then turn on TSDS for the metrics data streams. What this means is as soon as the package has all properties enabled, the only thing you have to do is upgrade the integration and everything else will happen automatically in the background.

If you want to learn more about how TSDS works under the hood and all available config options, check out the TSDS documentation. What Elasticsearch supports in 8.7 is only the first iteration of the metrics time series in Elasticsearch. If you switch over to using TSDS, you will automatically benefit from all the future improvements Elasticsearch is making for metrics time series, be it more efficient storage, query performance, or new aggregation capabilities.
TSDS can be used since 8.7 and will be in more and more of our integrations automatically when integrations are upgraded. All you will notice is lower storage usage and faster queries. Enjoy!
