Setup Data Streams Monitoring for .NET
Data Streams Monitoring is not supported in the AP1 region.
Prerequisites
To start with Data Streams Monitoring, you need recent versions of the Datadog Agent and .NET libraries:
Installation
.NET uses auto-instrumentation to inject and extract additional metadata required by Data Streams Monitoring for measuring end-to-end latencies and the relationship between queues and services. To enable Data Streams Monitoring, set the DD_DATA_STREAMS_ENABLED environment variable to true on services sending messages to (or consuming messages from) Kafka or RabbitMQ.
For example:
environment:
- DD_DATA_STREAMS_ENABLED: "true"
Supported libraries
Data Streams Monitoring supports the confluent-kafka library.
Monitoring SQS pipelines
Data Streams Monitoring uses one message attribute to track a message’s path through an SQS queue. As Amazon SQS has a maximum limit of 10 message attributes allowed per message, all messages streamed through the data pipelines must have 9 or fewer message attributes set, allowing the remaining attribute for Data Streams Monitoring.
