Datadog and Aiven
Datadog is a monitoring platform, allowing you to keep an eye on all aspects of your cloud estate. Aiven has integrations that make it easy to include an Aiven service in your Datadog dashboards.
Datadog for metrics
You can send the metrics from any or all of your Aiven services to Datadog. The integration also supports adding tags to the data, either for all metrics, or on a per-service basis.
Find out how to send your Aiven service metrics to Datadog.
If you're using Aiven for Apache Kafka® you can also customise the metrics sent to Datadog.
Datadog integration is not available for new Startup-2 plans in Aiven for Apache Kafka. Existing customers using Startup-2 with Datadog integration can continue to create new Startup-2 plans with Datadog integration and use their existing services without upgrading to a higher plan.
Aiven recommends using a Business-4 plan or higher for Aiven for Apache Kafka services with Datadog integration to avoid resource pressure on Startup-2 plans.
If you are an existing customer and cannot create a Startup-2 plan with Datadog integration in a new project, contact Aiven Support.
Datadog for logs
The RSyslog integration can be used with any Aiven service to send the service logs to Datadog. We have a handy guide to show you how to ship logs to Datadog from your Aiven service
