Akuity Datadog Addon

Datadog is a powerful monitoring platform that integrates seamlessly with Argo CD components argocd-repo-server and argocd-application-controller. When using Datadog for your monitoring, ensure Datadog Agent is installed in your cluster.

Datadog Addons via Akuity Portal

If you’re using the Akuity Portal (UI), enabling Datadog is straightforward:

1. Navigate to your cluster settings on akuity.cloud.

2. Click on Add to enable the Datadog option under the Addons section.

3. Update the cluster and apply your changes.

Datadog Addons via Declarative Specs

To configure Datadog integration declaratively using the Cluster custom resource definition (CRD), you can set the datadogAnnotationsEnabled flag to true. Below is an example configuration for metrics collection of argocd-repo-server and argocd-application-controller in a dev cluster:

apiVersion: argocd.akuity.io/v1alpha1
kind: Cluster
metadata:
  labels:
    env: dev
  name: dev
  namespace: akuity
spec:
  data:
    datadogAnnotationsEnabled: true
    appReplication: false
    autoUpgradeDisabled: false
    multiClusterK8sDashboardEnabled: true
    size: large
    targetVersion: 0.5.58

Datadog Addons via Akuity Terraform Provider

To integrate using infrastructure-as-code, the Datadog addon can be enabled in your Terraform configuring the akp_cluster resource. Below is the example configuration:

resource "akp_cluster" "example" {
  instance_id = data.akp_instance.example.id
  name        = "test-cluster"
  namespace   = "akuity"
  labels = {
    test-label = true
  }
  annotations = {
    test-annotation = false
  }
  spec = {
    namespace_scoped = true
    description      = "test-description"
    data = {
      size                  = "small"
      auto_upgrade_disabled = true
      target_version        = "0.5.58"
      managed_cluster_config = {
        secret_key  = "secret"
        secret_name = "secret-name"
      }
      datadog_annotations_enabled = true
      eks_addon_enabled           = false
    }
  }
