Installation

Add the following environment variables to your datadog-agent container definition:

If the Agent fails to extract the SBOM from the container image, increase the Agent memory in the container definition:

{
    "containerDefinitions": [
        {
            "name": "datadog-agent",
            "memory": 256,
            ...
        }
     ]
    ...
}
