Monitoring in the catalog

Monitor containers with Datadog

Ilan Rabinovitch

we aren't going to be able to fit this in 3 slides. I think we give them a link and ask them to add it in the notes.

What is Datadog?Datadog is a monitoring service for dynamic cloud

infrastructure and large-scale applications

Deploying the agent

Traditional InstallationDatadog agent runs next to the Docker engine

Docker-ized Datadog Agent Agent is deployed in a container

The Agent is responsible for sending native host and container-specific metrics, like number of containers, load, memory, disk

usage, and latency.For more information: http://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/docker/

http://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/docker/

Service discovery- Useful when using container

orchestration tools like Kubernetes or ECS

- Allows users to continuously monitor Dockerized applications without interruption as they move across containers and hosts

How it works: 1. You define configuration templates for

images you want to monitor2. The Datadog Agent listens to Docker

events and spots when containers are created, destroyed, started or stopped

3. The Agent loads the configuration template for the corresponding image, and automatically re-set up its checks

For more information: http://docs.datadoghq.com/guides/servicediscovery/

Custom Metrics - Use the Datadog Agent with DogStatsD

for sending in custom metrics instrumented in containerized applications

- DogstatsD is the Datadog extension of StatsD, which adds metric tagging.
