Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

Metric collection

1. Edit the riak.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory. See the sample riak.yaml for all available configuration options:

   init_config:
   
   instances:
     ## @param url - string - required
     ## Riak stats url to connect to.
     #
     - url: http://127.0.0.1:8098/stats
   

2. Restart the Agent to start sending Riak metrics to Datadog.

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Add this configuration block to your riak.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your Riak logs:

     logs:
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/riak/console.log
         source: riak
         service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
   
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/riak/error.log
         source: riak
         service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
         log_processing_rules:
           - type: multi_line
             name: new_log_start_with_date
             pattern: \d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}
   
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/riak/crash.log
         source: riak
         service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
         log_processing_rules:
           - type: multi_line
             name: new_log_start_with_date
             pattern: \d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}
   

3. Restart the Agent.
