Quick Guide for Datadog Agent on Kubernetes for Events
This guide walks you through deploying the Datadog Agent on Kubernetes clusters using Helm. It covers the essential steps to add the Datadog repository, configure the agent, and complete the deployment so that your cluster can send events and metrics to Datadog for monitoring.
