Overview

On Linux hosts that use Single Step Instrumentation (SSI), you can enable or disable Datadog SDK-dependent products at the host level with the application_monitoring.yaml file. All instrumented services on the host inherit these settings.

Configuration steps

1. Ensure the application_monitoring.yaml file exists at the following path:

   /etc/datadog-agent/application_monitoring.yaml
   

2. To enable or disable products, define them under the apm_configuration_default block and set them to true or false.

   Note: If a product is enabled through environment variables set on the SDK, those values override the settings in application_monitoring.yaml.

   As an example, the following enables profiling and Data Streams Monitoring, and disables tracing:

   apm_configuration_default:
     DD_PROFILING_ENABLED: true
     DD_DATA_STREAMS_ENABLED: true
     DD_APM_TRACING_ENABLED: false
