Overview

Add the Datadog connect-datadog middleware to your application to:

• Alert on your response times
• Monitor your response code

Setup

The Express integration requires the Datadog Agent DogStatsD server in order to forward your collected metrics to Datadog.

After installing the Agent on your host, see the DogStatsD Setup documentation to enable it.

Configuration

1. Install the middleware

   npm install connect-datadog
   

2. Modify your code to add the Datadog middleware:

   var dd_options = {
     'response_code':true,
     'tags': ['app:my_app']
   }
   
   var connect_datadog = require('connect-datadog')(dd_options);
   
   // Add your other middleware
   app.use(...);
   
   // Add the datadog-middleware before your router
   app.use(connect_datadog);
   app.use(router);
