Host

Metric collection

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

1. Install and configure the Aerospike Prometheus Exporter- refer to Aerospike’s documentation for more details.

2. Edit the aerospike.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your Aerospike performance data. See the sample aerospike.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

3. Restart the Agent.

Note: Version 1.16.0+ of this check uses OpenMetrics for metric collection, which requires Python 3. For hosts that are unable to use Python 3, or if you would like to use a legacy version of this check, refer to the example config.

Log collection

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, you need to enable it in datadog.yaml:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Add this configuration block to your aerospike.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your Aerospike Logs:

   logs:
     - type: file
       path: /var/log/aerospike/aerospike.log
       source: aerospike
   

   Change the path parameter value and configure them for your environment. See the sample aerospike.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

3. Restart the Agent.

Containerized

For containerized environments, see Configure integrations with Autodiscovery on Kubernetes or Configure integrations with Autodiscovery on Docker for guidance on applying the parameters below. See the sample aerospike.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

Metric collection

Example

Apply the following annotation to your pod, where <CONTAINER_NAME> is the Aerospike container name or a custom identifier:

ad.datadoghq.com/<CONTAINER_NAME>.checks: |
  {
    "aerospike": {
      "init_config": {},
      "instances": [{"openmetrics_endpoint": "http://%%host%%:9145/metrics"}]
    }
  } 

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. To enable it, see Kubernetes Log Collection.

Example

Apply the following annotation to your pod, where <CONTAINER_NAME> is the Aerospike container name or a custom identifier:

ad.datadoghq.com/<CONTAINER_NAME>.logs: |
  [
    {
      "type": "file",
      "path": "/var/log/aerospike/aerospike.log",
      "source": "aerospike"
    } 
  ]
