Add a Datadog metrics integration to an Aiven service​

note

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.

  1. In the service, click Integrations.
  2. In the Endpoint integrations select Datadog Metrics.
  3. Select your Datadog integration endpoint and click Enable.
tip

For Aiven for Apache Kafka® services you can also customize the metrics sent to Datadog.

You can see the metrics data on your Datadog dashboard.
