\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions

  1. Configure the DataDog agent using the Helm chart

    1. Add Datadog helm repository

      1. Code Block
        helm repo add datadog https://helm.datadoghq.com
        helm repo update
    2. Create datadog-values.yaml. For full values check here.
      Please refer to following the example of datadog-values.yaml

      1. Code Block
        languageyaml
        logLevel: DEBUG
        targetSystem: "linux"
        datadog:
          apiKey: <your api key from your account>
          
          #Logs configurations
          logs:
            enabled: true
            containerCollectAll: true
            containerCollectUsingFiles: true
          
          #Plesse configure this setting based on your region
          site: datadoghq.eu
          
          
          tags: []
          # datadog.kubelet.tlsVerify should be `false` on kind and minikube
          # to establish communication with the kubelet
          kubelet:
            tlsVerify: false
          
          #Following settings are required to collect the Kubernetes events with the Cluster Agent  
          collectEvents: true

        agents:
          image:
            tagSuffix: "jmx"
    1. install Datadog agent using Helm

      1. Code Block
        languagebash
        kubectl create ns <namespace>
        helm install -f datadog-values.yaml <release name> datadog/datadog 
    2. Verify installation and check the agent pod’s status

      1. Code Block
        languagebash
        kubectl get pods
      2. Also, check the agent’s

...

      1. logs to confirm.

  1. Install HiveMQ using Operator

    1. Configure hivemq-values.yaml based on your requirement and then add podAnnotations for Datadog to auto-discover HiveMQ metrics and logs. Check here for details.
      Please find below a minimalist config example of hivemq-values.yaml

      1. Code Block
        languageyaml
        
        hivemq:
          image: hivemq/hivemq4:k8s-4.7.5
          imagePullPolicy: Always
          cpu: 8
          memory: 8Gi
          nodeCount: "3"
        
        
          podAnnotations:
            ad.datadoghq.com/hivemq.
