Chef recipes to deploy Datadog's components and configuration automatically.
- python >= 2.6
- chef >= 10.12
- Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS
The following Opscode cookbooks are dependencies:
- apt
- chef_handler
- yum::epel
node['datadog']['api_key']
= This needs to be retrieved from your Account Settings page.node['datadog']['application_key']
= There are none by default. Visit the Account Settings page to create a new Application Key, to be used in conjunction with your API key.node['datadog']['url']
= The location of where Datadog is hosted. Should never change.node['datadog']['repo']
= Where the Datadog-maintained packages are located. Should never change.node['datadog']['debug']
= Will trigger heavy logging to /tmp/dd-agent.lognode['datadog']['use_ec2_instance_id']
= Whether to use the instance-id in lieu of hostname when running on EC2. No effect on non-EC2 servers.node['datadog']['use_mount']
= Whether to use the mount point instead of the device name for all I/O metrics.node['datadog']['tags']

= PostgreSQL hostnode['postgres']['port']
= 5432 by defaultnode['postgres']['user']
= user that the agent will use to connect, "datadog" by defaultnode['postgres']['password']

Do not forget to update you pg_hba.conf
and SIGHUP
postgres in case your postgres access control requires it.

node['jenkins']['home_dir']
= Path to Jenkins's home directory
node['nagios']['log_dir']
= Path to Nagios's event log filenode['nagios']['conf_dir']
= If you use perfdata, dd-agent can import automatically and in real-time performance data collected by nagios. For more information on perfdata configuration, please refer to http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/perfdata.html. Path to Nagios' configuration file where the properties host|service_perfdata_file and host|service_perfdata_file_template are defined.
- Simply add the recipe
datadog::cassandra
to your role.
node['jvm_jmx']['server']

= JMX user to log in with, if needednode['jvm_jmx']['pass']

node['tomcat_jmx']['server']

= JMX user to log in with, if needednode['tomcat_jmx']['pass']
= Password for the configured JMX user
node['varnish']
= if true, will invokevarnishstat
on the server to gather varnish metrics.
node['memcached']['listen']
= memcached address; if 0.0.0.0 dd-agent will connect via the loopback address.node['memcached']['port']
= memcached port
node['redis']['server']['addr']
= redis server addressnode['redis']['server']['port']
= redis server port
Just a placeholder for now, when we have more shared components they will probably live there.
Installs the Datadog agent on the target system, sets the API key, and start the service to report on the local system metrics
Installs the chef-handler-datadog gem and invokes the handler at the end of a chef run to report the details back to the newsfeed.
- Add this cookbook to your Chef Server, either by installing with knife or downloading and uploading to your chef-server with knife.
- Add your API Key, either to
attributes/default.rb
, or by using the inheritance model and placing it on the node/ - Upload the new recipe via:
knife cookbook upload datadog
- Associate the recipes with the desired
roles
, i.e. "role:chef-client" should contain "datadog::dd-handler" and a "role:somethingelse" should start the dd-agent with "datadog::dd-agent". - Wait until chef-client runs on the target node (or trigger chef-client if you're impatient)
We are not making use of data_bags in this recipe at this time, as it is unlikely that you will have more than 1 API key.
