Enable Dual Shipping for Datadog APM​

Causely can leverage Datadog APM instrumentation with dual shipping to discover and monitor service dependencies.

Option 1: Enable via Helm Deployment​

To enable dual shipping when deploying the Datadog Agent using Helm:

  1. Add the following configuration to your values.yaml:
agents:
  customAgentConfig:
    apm_config:
      additional_endpoints:
        'http://mediator.causely.svc.cluster.local:8125':
          - 'nokey'
  1. Upgrade or install the Datadog Helm chart:
 helm upgrade --install datadog datadog/datadog -f ./values.yaml

Option 2: Enable via Datadog Operator​

If you're managing the Datadog Agent using the Datadog Operator, modify the DatadogAgent custom resource as follows:

apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v2alpha1
kind: DatadogAgent
metadata:
  name: datadog
spec:
  override:
    nodeAgent:
      env:
        - name: DD_APM_ADDITIONAL_ENDPOINTS
          value: '{\"http://mediator.causely.svc.cluster.local:8125\": [\"nokey\"]}'

Enabling Datadog Watchdog Monitors as a Data Source​

Causely can also leverage Datadog monitors for Postgres, Redis, and other integrations to be used as input to Casual Reasoning.

To enable Datadog as a data source in Causely, add the following configuration to your values.yaml:

scrapers:
  datadog:
    enabled: true
    accounts:
      - org: Customer
        api_key: YYY
        app_key: ZZZ
        monitor_mapping:
          - entityType: Workload
            createIfMissing: true
            attributes:
              id:
                label: ['host']
              service_name:
                label: ['dbinstanceidentifier']
                isIdentifier: true
            resources:
              - monitorId: 116252750
                attribute: DBConnectionUsage
                symptom: DBConnectionsUtilization_High
              - monitorId: 116252751
                attribute: DBQueryDuration
                symptom: DBQueryDuration_High
