Amazon Data Firehose

Overview

Amazon Data Firehose is the easiest way to load streaming data into AWS.

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

Note: Amazon Data Firehose was formerly known as Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. Read the AWS What’s New post to learn more.

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 Firehose is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.
  2. Install the Datadog - Amazon Data Firehose integration.

Log collection

Enable logging

Configure Amazon Data Firehose to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.

Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_firehose 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 Amazon Data Firehose logs in the AWS console:
