Clocks
This section displays the NTP offset and system UTC time, for example:

Hostnames
This section displays the hostnames found by the Agent (see the example below). The hostname is the final hostname reported to the backend. For more information, see How does Datadog determine the Agent hostname.
hostname: ubuntu-xenial
socket-fqdn: ubuntu-xenial
socket-hostname: ubuntu-xenial
hostname provider: os
unused hostname providers:
aws: not retrieving hostname from AWS: the host is not an ECS instance, and other providers already retrieve non-default hostnames
configuration/environment: hostname is empty
gce: unable to retrieve hostname from GCE: Get http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/hostname: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
Collector

Config errors
This section only displays if there are checks with config errors, for example:
test
----
Configuration file contains no valid instances
Loading errors
This section only displays if there are checks with loading errors, for example:
test
----

Check test not found in Catalog
JMX Check Loader:
check is not a jmx check, or unable to determine if it's so
Python Check Loader:
unable to import module 'test': No module named test
JMXFetch
This section displays a list of initialized and failed JMX checks even if there are no checks, for example:
Initialized checks
==================
no checks
Failed checks
=============
no checks
Forwarder
The forwarder uses several workers to send payloads to Datadog.
If you see the warning the forwarder dropped transactions, there is probably an issue with your network, this means that all the workers were busy. You should review your network performance and tune the forwarder_num_workers and forwarder_timeout options.
Transactions
This section displays the transactions made by the forwarder, for example:
CheckRunsV1: 2
Dropped: 0
DroppedOnInput: 0
Events: 0
HostMetadata: 0
IntakeV1: 2
Metadata: 0
Requeued: 0
Retried: 0
RetryQueueSize: 0
Series: 0
ServiceChecks: 0
SketchSeries: 0
Success: 6
TimeseriesV1: 2
Errors: 1
Terms and descriptions:
| Term | Description |
|---|
| Success | The number of transactions successfully sent. |
| Errors | The number of times a transaction failed to be sent and was retried. |
| RetryQueueSize | The current number of transactions waiting to be retried. |
| Retried | The number of times a transaction was retried. |
| DroppedOnInput | The number of transactions that were dropped because all workers were busy. |
| Dropped | The number of transactions dropped because they were retried too many times. |
