Please refer to our [get started] page for more info on how to add dependencies to your project -and starting your application with the AspectJ Weaver. - - -Configuration -------------- - -First, include the Kamon(Datadog) extension under the `akka.extensions` key of your configuration files as shown here: - -```scala -akka { - extensions = ["kamon.statsd.Datadog"] -} -``` - -Then, tune the configuration settings according to your needs. Here is the `reference.conf` that ships with kamon-datadog -which includes a brief explanation of each setting: - -``` -kamon { - datadog { - # Hostname and port in which your StatsD is running. Remember that Datadog packets are sent using UDP and - # setting unreachable hosts and/or not open ports wont be warned by the Kamon, your data wont go anywhere. - hostname = "127.0.0.1" - port = 8125 - - # Interval between metrics data flushes to Datadog. It's value must be equal or greater than the - # kamon.metrics.tick-interval setting. - flush-interval = 1 second - - # Max packet size for UDP metrics data sent to Datadog. - max-packet-size = 1024 bytes - - # Subscription patterns used to select which metrics will be pushed to Datadog. Note that first, metrics - # collection for your desired entities must be activated under the kamon.metrics.filters settings. - includes { - actor = [ "*" ] - trace = [ "*" ] - } - - simple-metric-key-generator { - # Application prefix for all metrics pushed to Datadog. The default namespacing scheme for metrics follows - # this pattern: - # application.host.entity.entity-name.metric-name - application = "kamon" - } - } -} -``` - - -Integration Notes ------------------ - -* Contrary to many Datadog client implementations, we don't flush the metrics data as soon as the measurements are taken - but instead, all metrics data is buffered by the `Kamon(Datadog)` extension and flushed periodically using the - configured `kamon.statsd.flush-interval` and `kamon.statsd.max-packet-size` settings. -* Currently only Actor and Trace metrics are being sent to Datadog. -* All timing measurements are sent in nanoseconds, make sure you correctly set the scale when plotting or using the - metrics data. -* It is advisable to experiment with the `kamon.statsd.flush-interval` and `kamon.statsd.max-packet-size` settings to - find the right balance between network bandwidth utilization and granularity on your metrics data. - - - -Visualization and Fun ---------------------- - - - -[Datadog]: http://www.datadoghq.com/ -[get started]: /introduction/get-started/
