Monitor BYOC Logs

BYOC Logs is in Preview.

Dashboards

BYOC Logs provides an out-of-the-box dashboard that monitors BYOC Logs’ key metrics.

Setup

These metrics are exported by DogStatsD. You can either:

  • Run DogStatsD as a standalone service, or
  • Run the Datadog Agent (which includes DogStatsD by default)

Configure either option with your organization’s API key to export these metrics. As soon as your BYOC Logs cluster is connected to Datadog, the OOTB dashboard is automatically created, and you can access it from your Dashboards list.

To display distribution metrics on your dashboard, you must enable advanced query functionality.
