Overview
AWS OpsWorks is an application management service that makes it easy to deploy and operate applications of all shapes and sizes.
Enable this integration to see in Datadog all your OpsWorks metrics.
Setup
Installation
If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.
Metric collection
- In the AWS integration page, ensure that
OpsWorks is enabled under the Metric Collection tab. - Install the Datadog - AWS OpsWork integration.
Log collection
Enable logging
Configure AWS OpsWorks to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.
Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_ops_work is set as Target prefix.
Send logs to Datadog
If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog Forwarder Lambda function.
Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your AWS OpsWorks logs in the AWS console:
