Overview

Buoyant Cloud provides fully managed Linkerd on your cluster to monitor the health of Linkerd and deployments. With this integration, you can monitor and be alerted on Linkerd’s health, workload traffic, rollout events, and metrics.

Setup

Installation

You need to have an account at Buoyant Cloud to use this integration. You can also sign up for Buoyant Cloud in the Datadog Marketplace.

Configuration

Click the Connect Accounts button on the tile to complete the OAuth flow.
Browse to the Buoyant Cloud Notifications page.
Add or edit a rule under Events or Metrics.
Go to the Destinations section and select your Datadog account to send all events or metrics matching the notification rule to Datadog.

Validation
