Overview

The Confluent Cloud integration is not supported for the Datadog site.

Confluent Cloud is a fully managed, cloud-hosted streaming data service. Connect Datadog with Confluent Cloud to visualize and alert on key metrics for your Confluent Cloud resources.

Datadog’s out-of-the-box Confluent Cloud dashboard shows you key cluster metrics for monitoring the health and performance of your environment, including information such as the rate of change in active connections and your ratio of average consumed to produced records.

You can use recommended monitors to notify and alert your team when topic lag is getting too high, or use these metrics to create your own.

Setup

Installation

Install the integration with the Datadog Confluent Cloud integration tile.

Configuration

  1. In Confluent Cloud, click + Add API Key to enter your Confluent Cloud API Key and API Secret.
    • Create a Cloud Resource Management API key and secret.
    • Click Save. Datadog searches for accounts associated with those credentials.
    • In the Datadog integration configuration, add the API key and secret to the API Key and API Secret fields.
  2. Add your Confluent Cloud Cluster ID or Connector ID. Datadog crawls the Confluent Cloud metrics and loads metrics within minutes.
  3. To collect your tags defined in Confluent Cloud (optional):
    • Create a Schema Registry API key and secret. Read more about Schema Management on Confluent Cloud.
    • Click Save. Datadog collects tags defined in Confluent Cloud.
    • In the Datadog integration configuration, add the API key and secret to the Schema Registry API Key and Secret fields.
  4. If you use Cloud Cost Management and enable collecting cost data:

For more information about configuration resources, such as Clusters and Connectors, refer to the Confluent Cloud Integration documentation.

API Key and secret

To create your Confluent Cloud API Key and Secret, see Add the MetricsViewer role to a new service account in the UI.

Cluster ID

To find your Confluent Cloud Cluster ID:

  1. In Confluent Cloud, navigate to Environment Overview and select the cluster you want to monitor.
  2. In the left-hand navigation, click Cluster overview > Cluster settings.
  3. Under Identification, copy the Cluster ID beginning with lkc.

Connector ID

To find your Confluent Cloud Connector ID:

  1. In Confluent Cloud, navigate to Environment Overview and select the cluster you want to monitor.
  2. In the left-hand navigation, click Data integration > Connectors.
  3. Under Connectors, copy the Connector ID beginning with lcc.

Dashboards

After configuring the integration, see the out-of-the-box Confluent Cloud dashboard for an overview of Kafka cluster and connector metrics.

By default, all metrics collected across Confluent Cloud are displayed.
