Overview

Get metrics from gnatsd_streaming service in real time to:

  • Visualize and monitor gnatsd_streaming states
  • Be notified about gnatsd_streaming failovers and events.

Setup

The gnatsd_streaming check is not included in the Datadog Agent package, so you need to install it.

Installation

For Agent v7.21+ / v6.21+, follow the instructions below to install the gnatsd_streaming check on your host. See Use Community Integrations to install with the Docker Agent or earlier versions of the Agent.

  1. Run the following command to install the Agent integration:

    datadog-agent integration install -t datadog-gnatsd_streaming==<INTEGRATION_VERSION>
    
  2. Configure your integration similar to core integrations.

Configuration

  1. Edit the gnatsd_streaming.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your GnatsD streaming metrics. See the sample gnatsd_streaming.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

  2. Restart the Agent

Validation

Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for gnatsd_streaming under the Checks section.
