Overview

Get metrics from your Lightbend Reactive Platform application in real time to:

• Visualize performance metrics of your actors.
• Track unexpected events (exceptions, unhandled messages, dead letters, a.s.o.).
• Get an insight into the remoting characteristics of your application.
• Drill down into dispatcher metrics to tune the application performance.

Setup

Installation

This integration uses Lightbend Monitoring which requires a subscription.

The easiest way to integrate Lightbend Monitoring with Datadog is to use the Datadog plugin.

By default, Lightbend Monitoring sends all metrics over the wire, but it is possible to limit fields reported with the configuration (see the example below).

The Datadog plugin uses a default configuration that can be overridden:

cinnamon.datadog {
  statsd {
    host = "192.168.0.1"
    port = 8888
    frequency = 60s
  }

  report {
    histogram = ["min", "max", "p98", "p99", "p999"]
  }
}

The configuration values explained:

• cinnamon.datadog.statsd.host: IP address of your DogStatsD instance.
• cinnamon.datadog.statsd.port: port number of your DogStatsD instance.
• cinnamon.datadog.statsd.frequency: the frequency that data is pushed from Cinnamon to the DogStatsD instance.
• cinnamon.datadog.report.histogram: instruction for how to filter histogram data sent to DogStatsD. In the above example only max and p99 are sent.

See the Lightbend Monitoring documentation for more details on configuration.
