Datadog ​

By default, Nullstone configures your applications to use the log service in your cloud provider. Instead, some teams prefer to use third-party telemetry providers for logs and metrics. This guide shows how to configure Datadog for an application's logs and metrics.

Create Datastore ​

To integrate with Datadog, create a datastore in Nullstone using the Datadog module.

Launch Datastore ​

To launch the Datadog datastore, you need to configure the datastore with an API Key and App Key that has acccess to your Datadog instance.

API Key ​

Visit https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api.

Open API Keys section and Create API Key.

App Key ​

Visit https://app.datadoghq.com/access/application-keys.

Click New Key. Name the key Nullstone.

Configure Datastore ​

Launch your datastore from the Nullstone UI. Enter your newly-minted API Key and App Key.

Send application logs to Datadog ​

With the Datadog datastore configured, you can attach the datastore to applications to relay logs to Datadog.

Open an application in Nullstone. Navigate to the Datastores tab, click + Datstore Connection. Select the Datadog datastore.

Click Launch/Update on your application to apply the changes.

Once complete, new application logs will appear in your datadog within 5 minutes.

logs CLI command ​

You may still continue to view logs using the nullstone logs CLI command.

> nullstone logs -t -s '5m' -app=<app-name> --env=<env-name>

> nullstone logs -t -s '5m' -app=<app-name> --env=<env-name>

Datadog tags ​

The Datadog capability will automatically tag your application logs/metrics in Datadog.
