Datadog integration

Managed instance of the Datadog Agent.

Components

  • Datadog agent (dd-agent)

Configuration

Service users may drop a JSON config file containing the basic configuration into /etc/local/datadog/datadog.json:

{
  "api_key": "your-api-key",
  "hostname": "your-optional-alias",
  "tags": ["your", "tags", "(optional)"]
}

Additionally you may add .yaml (like mysql.yaml) files for further customization. Please consult the datadog integrations help for details.

Interaction

Service users may invoke sudo fc-manage --build to apply service configuration changes and trigger service restarts (if necessary).
