Datadog Agent Integration

Overview

The Datadog Agent is a single collection component that gathers metrics, logs, traces, and events from your infrastructure and forwards them to Kloudfuse. Because Kloudfuse is protocol-compatible with Datadog, you can use an existing or newly deployed Agent to send data to a Kloudfuse ingester by updating the destination endpoint — no change to your application code or SDK configuration is required.

Beyond host-level metrics, the Agent ships with a catalog of over 400 technology integrations (also called checks). Each integration knows how to collect metrics and logs from a specific technology — a database, message broker, web server, or cloud service — by connecting to it and running a check on a schedule. Enabling one is a matter of dropping a configuration file into the Agent’s conf.d/ directory (or setting the equivalent autodiscovery annotations in Kubernetes), and the collected telemetry flows to Kloudfuse alongside everything else the Agent gathers. The pages below document the integrations Kloudfuse users deploy most often; the full catalog of Agent checks is maintained in the Datadog integrations-core project.
