Datadog APM Plugin

The datadog APM plugin allows using time series data from Datadog to make scaling decisions.

Agent Configuration Options

apm "datadog" {
  driver = "datadog"

  config = {
    dd_api_key = "<api key>"
    dd_app_key = "<app key>"

    site = "datadoghq.eu"
  }
}

• dd_api_key (string: <required>) - The Datadog API key to use for authentication.

• dd_app_key (string: <required>) - The Datadog application key to use for authentication.

• site (string: "datadoghq.com") - The Datadog site to connect to.

The Datadog plugin can also read its configuration options via environment variables. The accepted keys are DD_API_KEY and DD_APP_KEY. The agent configuration parameters take precedence over the environment variables.

Policy Configuration Options

check {
  source = "datadog"
  query  = "avg:proxy.backend.response.time{proxy-service:web-app}"
  # ...
}
