Amazon Kinesis
Overview
Amazon Kinesis is a fully managed, cloud-based service for real-time processing of large, distributed data streams.
Enable this integration to see in Datadog all your Kinesis metrics, and collect custom Kinesis tags.
Setup
Installation
If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first. There are no other installation steps that need to be performed.
Metric collection
- In the AWS integration tile, ensure that
Kinesisis checked under metric collection. Add those permissions to your Datadog IAM policy in order to collect Amazon Kinesis metrics:
kinesis:ListStreams: List available streams.kinesis:DescribeStream: Add tags and new metrics for kinesis streams.kinesis:ListTagsForStream: Add custom tags.
For more information on Kinesis policies, review the documentation on the AWS website.
Install the Datadog - AWS Kinesis integration.
Log collection
Enable logging
Datadog is one of the default destinations for Amazon Kinesis Delivery streams. AWS fully manages Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, so you don’t need to maintain any additional infrastructure or forwarding configurations for streaming logs.
You can set up a Kinesis Firehose Delivery Stream in the AWS Firehose console, or automatically set up the destination using a CloudFormation template:
However, if you log to an S3 bucket, then use the AWS Lambda function. Make sure that amazon_kinesis is set as Target prefix.
- If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function.
Once the lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or Cloudwatch log group that contains your Amazon Kinesis logs in the AWS console:
