Datadog

You can add operational visibility to your Rack with Datadog.

Deploy the Datadog Agent

You can deploy the datadog agent as a Convox App with a simple convox.yml:

services:
  datadog:
    agent: true
    environment:
      - DD_API_KEY
      - DD_APM_ENABLED=true
    image: datadog/agent:latest
    ports:
      - 8125/udp
      - 8126/tcp
    privileged: true
    scale:
      cpu: 128
      memory: 128
    volumes:
      - /proc/:/host/proc/
      - /sys/fs/cgroup/:/host/sys/fs/cgroup/
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Make sure to set the DD_API_KEY environment variable to your Datadog API key.

Metrics and Traces

In order to use Datadog’s APM, Distributed Tracing, or Runtime Metrics you will need to connect to the Datadog agent.

The agent configuration above will be listening to 8125/udp and 8126/tcp on the instance IP address. This IP address will be available to your Processes in the INSTANCE_IP environment variable.
