Amazon Elastic Transcoder

Overview

Amazon Elastic Transcoder lets you convert media files stored in Amazon S3 into media file formats required by consumer playback devices.

Enable this integration to see all your Elastic Transcoder metrics in Datadog.

Setup

Installation

If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.

Metric collection

  1. In the AWS integration page, ensure that Elastic Transcoder is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.
  2. Install the Datadog - Amazon Elastic Transcoder integration.

Log collection

Enable logging

Configure Amazon Elastic Transcoder to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.

Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_elastic_transcoder is set as Target prefix.

Send logs to Datadog

  1. If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog Forwarder Lambda function.

  2. Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your Amazon Elastic Transcoder logs in the AWS console:
