Host

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

Metric collection

1. Edit the apache.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your Apache metrics. See the sample apache.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

   init_config:
   
   instances:
     ## @param apache_status_url - string - required
     ## Status url of your Apache server.
     #
     - apache_status_url: http://localhost/server-status?auto
   

2. Restart the Agent.

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in datadog.yaml:

   logs_enabled: true
   

2. Add this configuration block to your apache.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your Apache logs, adjusting the path and service values to configure them for your environment:

   logs:
     - type: file
       path: /path/to/your/apache/access.log
       source: apache
       service: apache
       sourcecategory: http_web_access
   
     - type: file
       path: /path/to/your/apache/error.log
       source: apache
       service: apache
       sourcecategory: http_web_error
   

   See the sample apache.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

3. Restart the Agent.

Docker

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

Metric collection

Set Autodiscovery Integrations Templates as Docker labels on your application container:

LABEL "com.datadoghq.ad.check_names"='["apache"]'
LABEL "com.datadoghq.ad.init_configs"='[{}]'
LABEL "com.datadoghq.ad.instances"='[{"apache_status_url": "http://%%host%%/server-status?auto"}]'

Log collection

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

Then, set Log Integrations as Docker labels:

LABEL "com.datadoghq.ad.logs"='[{"source": "apache", "service": "<SERVICE_NAME>"}]'

Kubernetes

To configure this check for an Agent running on Kubernetes:

Metric collection

Set Autodiscovery Integrations Templates as pod annotations on your application container. Aside from this, templates can also be configured with a file, a configmap, or a key-value store.

Annotations v1 (for Datadog Agent < v7.36)

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: apache
  annotations:
    ad.datadoghq.com/apache.check_names: '["apache"]'
    ad.datadoghq.com/apache.init_configs: '[{}]'
    ad.datadoghq.com/apache.instances: |
      [
        {
          "apache_status_url": "http://%%host%%/server-status?auto"
        }
      ]      
spec:
  containers:
    - name: apache

Annotations v2 (for Datadog Agent v7.36+)

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: apache
  annotations:
    ad.datadoghq.com/apache.checks: |
      {
        "apache": {
          "init_config": {},
          "instances": [
            {
              "apache_status_url": "http://%%host%%/server-status?auto"
            }
          ]
        }
      }      
spec:
  containers:
    - name: apache

Log collection

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

Then, set Log Integrations as pod annotations. This can also be configured with a file, a configmap, or a key-value store.

Annotations v1/v2

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: apache
  annotations:
    ad.datadoghq.com/apache.logs: '[{"source":"apache","service":"<SERVICE_NAME>"}]'
spec:
  containers:
    - name: apache

ECS

To configure this check for an Agent running on ECS:

Metric collection

Set Autodiscovery Integrations Templates as Docker labels on your application container:

{
  "containerDefinitions": [{
    "name": "apache",
    "image": "apache:latest",
    "dockerLabels": {
      "com.datadoghq.ad.check_names": "[\"apache\"]",
      "com.datadoghq.ad.init_configs": "[{}]",
      "com.datadoghq.ad.instances": "[{\"apache_status_url\": \"http://%%host%%/server-status?auto\"}]"
    }
  }]
}

Log collection

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

Then, set Log Integrations as Docker labels:

{
  "containerDefinitions": [{
    "name": "apache",
    "image": "apache:latest",
    "dockerLabels": {
      "com.datadoghq.ad.logs": "[{\"source\":\"apache\",\"service\":\"<YOUR_APP_NAME>\"}]"
    }
  }]
}
