Add a Datadog metrics integration to an Aiven service
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.
- In the service, click Integrations.
- In the Endpoint integrations select Datadog Metrics.
- Select your Datadog integration endpoint and click Enable.
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.
