Datadog agent

This template deploys a Datadog agent stack consisting of the official docker-dd-agent image and a configuration sidekick that provides closer integration with Rancher:

  • Hosts in Datadog are named correctly
  • Host labels can be exported as Datadog host tags
  • Service labels can be exported as Datadog metric tags

Service Discovery

Note: Service discovery templates that contain the %%host%% placeholder are currently not working in Rancher 1.2 and up due to the switch to CNI networking.

Please refer to the Datadog documentation here to learn how to provide configuration templates for Service Discovery in etcd or Consul.
