Datadog Alerts Integration enables you to receive PerfectScale Alerts directly into your Datadog dashboard, ensuring you stay informed about any resilience risks identified in your Kubernetes environment, and helping you prioritize tasks to eliminate the issues before they impact performance and user experience.
Datadog Alerts Integration could be enabled in a few simple steps:
Create an API Key in Datadog.
Configure Datadog Alerts Profile.
Apply the profile to the desired cluster(s).
Log in to your Datadog profile.
Hover on your account icon and click API Keys
Click New Key button, name your key, and click Create Key.
Copy the API Key. You will need it for the Datadog Alerts Profile configuration.
There are two options for creating a Profile: from the Settings tab or directly from the Overview.
Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select Integrations -> click the +Add Integration button and select Datadog from the drop-down -> insert the required data.
Go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> find Integrations and click the Monitoring drop-down list -> click the Add New Profile button -> insert the required data.
Name the Profile
datadog_api_key - Datadog API Key. See the details here.
datadog_site_region - specifies the Datadog regional domain where your data is sent and managed (example: datadoghq.com).
The available datadog_site_region:
US1
datadoghq.com
US3
us3.datadoghq.com
US5
datadoghq.com
EU
datadoghq.eu
AP1
ap1.datadoghq.com
US1-FED
ddog-gov.com
To apply Datadog Alerts Profile to the cluster, go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the Datadog Alerts Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> select the needed profile in the Monitoring drop-down list.
To apply the profile to multiple clusters from a single view, use the Manage Assignments feature.
Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select the Integrations -> click the Manage Assignments button -> go to Monitoring section and apply the profiles for the needed clusters -> click the Save Changes button.
In order to stop submitting Alerts to Datadog, the profile should be unassigned from the cluster.
Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select the Integrations -> click the Manage Assignments button -> go to Monitoring section and select None for the needed clusters -> click the Save Changes button.
Use Set as default checkbox to automatically assign the profile to the clusters.
NOTE: The manually assigned profile takes priority over the default one.
