AWS IoT Core

Overview

AWS IoT Core is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices.

Enable this integration to see in Datadog all your IOT metrics.

Setup

Installation

If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.

Metric collection

  1. In the AWS integration page, ensure that IoT is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.
  2. Install the Datadog - AWS IoT Core integration.

Log collection

Enable logging

Configure AWS IoT Core to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.

Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_iot is set as Target prefix.

Send logs to Datadog

  1. If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog Forwarder Lambda function.

  2. Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your AWS IoT Core logs in the AWS console:
