util

This module is intended for internal use and should never be imported directly. Checks should use the methods exposed by the AgentCheck class instead, see dedicated docs for more details.

This module exists only to provide backward compatibility for custom checks, it's not used anywhere in Datadog codebase.

Implementation

• util.c
• util.h
• datadog_agent.go (Go code is reused)

Functions

def headers(agentConfig, http_host=None):
    """Get standard set of HTTP headers to use to perform HTTP requests from an
    integration.

    NOTE: This function isn't used by any official integration provided by
    Datadog but custom checks might still rely on it.

    Args:
        agentConfig (dict): ignored, can be None.
        http_host: value for the `Host` header.

    Returns:
        A dictionary containing HTTP headers or None.
