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>"
    dd_api_rate_per_second = "200"

    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.

• dd_api_rate_per_second (string: "") - Maximum rate limit to apply to the underlying HTTP client used to query the Datadog API.

• 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.
