Build Status

Important note

This repository contains the source code for the Datadog Agent up to and including major version 5. Although still supported, no major feature is planned for this release line and we encourage users and contributors to refer to the new Agent codebase, introduced with the release of version 6.0.0 and tracked in a different git repository.

Changes

Please refer to the Change log for more details about the changes introduced at each release.

How to configure the Agent

If you are using packages on linux, the main configuration file lives in /etc/dd-agent/datadog.conf. Per-check configuration files are in /etc/dd-agent/conf.d. We provide an example in the same directory that you can use as a template.

How to write your own checks

Writing your own checks is easy using our checks.d interface. Read more about how to use it on our Guide to Agent Checks.
