Quick Guide for Datadog Agent on Hosted Platforms for Events
This guide provides instructions for configuring the Datadog Agent on hosted platforms to collect and send events to Kloudfuse. Use this guide to set up event forwarding from your Datadog environment so that relevant events appear in your Kloudfuse observability workspace.
Install Datadog Agent
Run the following command on the host instance. It starts collecting and reporting metrics on CPU, memory, network, and uptime for the host instance.
Replace the placeholder <dns> with the correct endpoint name.

bash -c "$(curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/dd-agent/scripts/install_script_agent7.sh)"Collect Events
Edit your /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml file to collect events.
Be sure to enable the collect_events option. If this option is missing or set to false, you need to enable it.
Use this configuration to enable the collection of container events (start, stop, die events) and system events (such as log rotations or system changes).
