The Datadog Cluster Agent should be used in a containerized ecosystem. To build it:

  1. Clone the DataDog/datadog-agent GitHub repository
  2. In the datadog-agent/ folder downloaded, create the binary by running inv -e cluster-agent.build. This adds a binary in ./bin/datadog-cluster-agent/
  3. Then from the same folder, run inv -e cluster-agent.image-build.
