gcdt-datadog-integration plugin

The original usecase for the gcdt_datadog_integration was to get usage data from gcdt executions. So we get some idea on frequency and gcdt utilization. We still use metrics with the datadog gcdt-dashboard to concentrate our efforts on the relevant parts of gcdt.

datadog integration plugin functionality

  • send metrics and events according to tool and command
  • provide context e.g. host, user, env, stack

Configuration

datadog.api_key is provided via secret lookup:

'gcdt_datadog_integration': {
    'datadog_api_key': 'lookup:secret:datadog.api_key'
},
