Redpanda

Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host, run datadog-agent integration install -t datadog-redpanda==<INTEGRATION_VERSION>.

Containerized

For containerized environments, the best way to use this integration with the Docker Agent is to build the Agent with the Redpanda integration installed.

To build an updated version of the Agent:

1. Use the following Dockerfile:

FROM gcr.io/datadoghq/agent:latest

ARG INTEGRATION_VERSION=1.0.0

RUN agent integration install -r -t datadog-redpanda==${INTEGRATION_VERSION}

2. Build the image and push it to your private Docker registry.

3. Upgrade the Datadog Agent container image. If you are using a Helm chart, modify the agents.image section in the values.yaml file to replace the default agent image:

agents:
  enabled: true
  image:
    tag: <NEW_TAG>
    repository: <YOUR_PRIVATE_REPOSITORY>/<AGENT_NAME>

4. Use the new values.yaml file to upgrade the Agent:

helm upgrade -f values.yaml <RELEASE_NAME> datadog/datadog

Host

Metric collection

To start collecting your Redpanda performance data:

1. Edit the redpanda.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory. See the sample redpanda.d/conf.yaml.example file for all available configuration options.

2. Restart the Agent.

Log collection

By default, collecting logs is disabled in the Datadog Agent. Log collection is available for Agent v6.0+.

1. To enable logs, add the following in your datadog.yaml file:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Make sure dd-agent user is member of systemd-journal group, if not, run following command as root:

   usermod -a -G systemd-journal dd-agent
   

3. Add the following in your redpanda.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your Redpanda logs:

    logs:
    - type: journald
      source: redpanda
   

Containerized

Metric collection

For containerized environments, Autodiscovery is configured by default after the Redpanda check integrates in the Datadog Agent image.

Metrics are automatically collected in Datadog’s server. For more information, see Autodiscovery Integration Templates.

Log collection

By default, log collection is disabled in the Datadog Agent. Log collection is available for Agent v6.0+.

To enable logs, see Kubernetes Log Collection.
