This guide covers installing Agent 5. Datadog recommends installing or upgrading to Agent 7 for the latest features. For information on installing the latest version of the Agent, follow the Agent 7 Installation Instructions. For information on upgrading to Agent 7 from an earlier version, see Upgrade to Datadog Agent v7.

macOS

Install the Agent

Command line

Run the following command, replacing MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:

DD_API_KEY=MY_API_KEY bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataDog/dd-agent/master/packaging/osx/install.sh)"

To manage the Agent, use the datadog-agent command. By default, the datadog-agent binary is located in /usr/local/bin. Enable or disable integrations in /opt/datadog-agent/etc/conf.d.

GUI

Download and install the DMG package.
Add the following line to /opt/datadog-agent/etc/datadog.conf, replacing MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:
```
api_key:MY_API_KEY
```

To manage the Agent, use the Datadog Agent app in the system tray. Enable or disable integrations in /opt/datadog-agent/etc/conf.d.

Agent run behavior

By default, the Agent runs at login. You can disable it using the Datadog Agent app in the system tray. If you want to run the Agent at boot, use these commands:

sudo cp '/opt/datadog-agent/etc/com.datadoghq.agent.plist' /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.datadoghq.agent.plist

Uninstall

Stop and close the Datadog Agent with the bone icon in the tray.
Drag the Datadog application from the application folder to the trash bin.

Run:

sudo rm -rf /opt/datadog-agent
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/datadog-agent
sudo rm -rf ~/.datadog-agent/** # to remove broken symlinks

If you ran the optional install commands to have the Agent run at boot time, run the following to finish uninstalling:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.datadoghq.agent.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.datadoghq.agent.plist

Windows

Install the Agent

GUI

Download and run the Datadog Agent installer:

64-bit installer.
32-bit installer. 32-bit installations are only supported up to Agent version 5.10.1.

Links to all available versions of the Windows installer are available in JSON format.

Command line

Download the Agent:
- For fresh installations, download the Datadog Agent installer.
- If you’re upgrading from a Datadog Agent version <5.12.0, use the EXE installation method.
In a cmd.exe shell in the directory where you downloaded the installer, run the following command. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:
```
start /wait msiexec /qn /i ddagent-cli-latest.msi APIKEY="MY_API_KEY"
```
Optionally, add TAG and HOSTNAME values.

Deployment to Azure

To install the Agent on Azure, follow the Microsoft Azure documentation.

New upgrade procedure for 5.12

If you are an existing customer running a Windows Agent prior to 5.12, there may be additional steps required to upgrade your device. Specifically, the latest Agent is a “per-machine” installation. Prior versions of the Agent were “per-user” by default. There may also be additional steps required if you’re deploying with Chef. For more information, see Windows Agent Installation.

Uninstall

There are two different methods to uninstall the Agent on Windows. Both methods remove the Agent, but do not remove the C:\ProgramData\Datadog configuration folder on the host.

Note: For Agent < v5.12.0, it’s important to uninstall the Agent with the original account used to install the Agent, otherwise it may not be cleanly removed.

Add or remove programs

Press CTRL and Esc or use the Windows key to run Windows Search.
Search for add and click Add or remove programs.
Search for Datadog Agent and click Uninstall.

PowerShell

Note: Enable WinRM to use the commands below.

Use the following PowerShell command to uninstall the Agent without rebooting:

start-process msiexec -Wait -ArgumentList ('/log', 'C:\uninst.log', '/norestart', '/q', '/x', (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Product -Filter "Name='Datadog Agent'" -ComputerName .).IdentifyingNumber)

Cloud and containers

Install the Agent

Install with DaemonSets

If you’re running Kubernetes >= 1.1.0, you can take advantage of DaemonSets to automatically deploy the Datadog Agent on all your nodes

Create a secret that contains your API key. This secret is used in the manifest to deploy the Datadog Agent. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:
```
kubectl create secret generic datadog-secret --from-literal api-key =" MY_API_KEY"
```

Create the following manifest named dd-agent.yaml:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:

spec:
template:
   metadata:
      labels:

         name: procdir
      - hostPath:
            path: /sys/fs/cgroup
         name: cgroups

Deploy the DaemonSet:
```
kubectl create -f dd-agent.yaml
```

This manifest enables autodiscovery's auto-configuration feature. To disable auto-configuration, remove the SD_BACKEND environment variable definition. To learn how to configure autodiscovery, see Kubernetes Integrations Autodiscovery.

Run the Agent as a Docker container

If you are not running Kubernetes 1.1.0 or later, or you don’t want to use DaemonSets, run the Agent as a Docker container on each node you want to monitor. Run the following command, replacing MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:

docker run -d --name dd-agent -h `hostname` -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro -v /proc/:/host/proc/:ro -v /sys/fs/cgroup/:/host/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -e API_KEY=MY_API_KEY -e KUBERNETES=yes -e SD_BACKEND=docker gcr.io/datadoghq/docker-dd-agent:latest

Send custom metrics

If you plan on sending custom metrics using DogStatsD:

Bind the container’s StatsD port to the node’s IP address by adding a hostPort to the ports section of your manifest:
```
ports:
  - containerPort: 8125
    hostPort: 8125
    name: dogstatsdport
    protocol: UDP
```
Configure your client library to send UDP packets to the node’s IP. If using bridge networking, the default gateway of your application container matches the node’s IP. You can also use the downward API to expose the node’s hostname as an environment variable.

Customize your Agent configuration

To customize your Agent configuration, see the documentation in the Agent 5 docker-dd-agent repo. To tune autodiscovery configuration, see Kubernetes Integrations Autodiscovery. To disable autodiscovery, remove the SD_BACKEND environment variable from your manifest.

For information on collecting metrics, service checks, and events, see the Kubernetes integration documentation.

One-step install

The one-step install runs a Docker container which embeds the Datadog Agent to monitor your host. The Docker integration is enabled by default, as well as autodiscovery in auto config mode. To disable autodiscovery, remove the SD_BACKEND variable from the one-step install command.

Amazon Linux

Run the following command, replacing MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:

docker run -d --name dd-agent -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro -v /proc/:/host/proc/:ro -v /cgroup/:/host/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -e API_KEY=MY_API_KEY -e SD_BACKEND=docker gcr.io/datadoghq/docker-dd-agent:latest

Other operating systems

Run the following command, replacing MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:

docker run -d --name dd-agent -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro -v /proc/:/host/proc/:ro -v /sys/fs/cgroup/:/host/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -e API_KEY=MY_API_KEY -e SD_BACKEND=docker gcr.io/datadoghq/docker-dd-agent:latest

Troubleshooting

If the one-step install command does not work, it’s possible that your system mounts the cgroup directory in an unexpected place or does not use CGroups for memory management. CGroups are required for the Docker check to succeed. To enable CGroups, see the documentation in the docker-dd-agent repo. If the check is failing because of an unexpected cgroup directory location:

Run mount | grep "cgroup type tmpfs" to retrieve the location of the cgroup directory.
Replace the first occurence of /sys/fs/cgroup in the one-step install command with the location of the cgroup directory.

Send custom metrics

To send custom metrics using DogStatsD:

Add the -p 8125:8125/udp option to the install command. This binds the container’s StatsD port to the host’s IP address.
Configure your client library to send UDP packets to the host’s IP address.

Customize your Agent configuration

To customize your Agent configuration, see the documentation in the Agent 5 docker-dd-agent repo. To tune autodiscovery configuration, see Docker Integrations Autodiscovery. To disable autodiscovery, remove the SD_BACKEND environment variable from the one-step installation command.

Running CoreOS Container Linux is supported with the Docker runtime. For installation instructions, see Docker.

To run CoreOS Tectonic on Kubernetes, see Kubernetes.

For information on installing Datadog with OpenShift, see the datadog-openshift repo.

Configuration management

The Datadog Ansible collection supports most Debian, RHEL-based and SUSE-based Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows.
Requires Ansible version 2.10 or higher.

Prerequisites

Windows

Before you can use the Datadog Ansible Collection to manage Windows hosts, you must install the ansible.windows collection:

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.windows

openSUSE and SLES

Before you can use the Datadog Ansible Collection to manage openSUSE/SLES hosts, you must install the community.general collection:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

Install Datadog

Install the Datadog Ansible collection from Ansible Galaxy on your Ansible server:
```
ansible-galaxy collection install datadog.dd
```
- The Datadog Ansible collection is also available through the Red Hat Automation Hub where it is officially certified by Red Hat.
- Installing the collection is recommended. If needed, you can also install Datadog using the standalone role.
To deploy the Datadog Agent on hosts, add the Datadog role and your API key to your playbook. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:
```
- hosts: servers
tasks:
   - name: Import the Datadog Agent role from the Datadog collection
      import_role:
      name: datadog.dd.agent
vars:
   datadog_api_key: "MY_API_KEY"
   datadog_agent_major_version: 5
```
To ensure that the Agent can group your hosts together, only use node hostnames that the Datadog Agent is tracking. You can check what hostnames the Agent is tracking using the following command:
```
service datadog-agent info
```

Specific Agent checks

To use a specific Agent check or integration on one of your nodes, you can use the datadog_checks variable. Here is an example for the process check:

- hosts: servers
  tasks:
    - name: Import the Datadog Agent role from the Datadog collection
      import_role:
        name: datadog.dd.agent
  vars:
    datadog_api_key: "MY_API_KEY"
    datadog_agent_major_version: 5
    datadog_checks:
      process:
        init_config:
        instances:
          - name: ssh
            search_string: ['ssh', 'sshd']
          - name: syslog
            search_string: ['rsyslog']
            cpu_check_interval: 0.2
            exact_match: true
            ignore_denied_access: true

You can find more examples of the Agent role usage on the Github repo for the standalone role.

Metrics and events

To get metrics and events on Datadog after Ansible runs, see the Ansible callback project’s Github page.

The datadog_agent module only supports Linux nodes.
Requires Puppet Agent version 2.7 or higher.

Install the datadog_agent module from the Puppet Forge on your Puppet server:
- For fresh installs, run the module install command:
```
puppet module install datadog-datadog_agent
```
- If the module is already installed, upgrade it:
```
puppet module upgrade datadog-datadog_agent
```
To deploy the Datadog agent on nodes, add this parametrized class to your manifests. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:
```
node "db1.mydomain.com" {
   class { "datadog_agent":
      api_key => "MY_API_KEY"
   }
}
```
To ensure that the Agent can group your hosts together, only use node hostnames that the Datadog Agent is tracking. You can check what hostnames the Agent is tracking using the following command:
```
service datadog-agent info
```

Enable reporting to Datadog on your Puppet server:

Add the following parameters to /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:

[master]
report = true
reports = datadog_reports
pluginsync = true

[agent]
report = true
pluginsync = true

In your manifest, add the puppet_run_reports option to your Puppet server. For example:

node "puppet" {
   class { "datadog_agent":
      api_key            => "MY_API_KEY",
      puppet_run_reports => true
      }
}

Run Puppet on your Puppet server to install all necessary dependencies.
Restart your Puppet server to begin receiving Puppet data in Datadog.

Specific Agent checks

To use a specific Agent check or integration on one of your nodes, see the relevant integration manifest for a code sample. Here is an example for the elasticsearch integration:

node "elastic-node1.mydomain.com" {
    class { "datadog_agent":
        api_key => ""
    }
    include "datadog_agent::integrations::elasticsearch"
}

Requires Chef version 10.14.x or higher.

Add the Datadog cookbook:
- If you are using Berkshelf, add the cookbook to your Berksfile:
```
cookbook 'datadog'
```
- If you’re not using Berkshelf, install the cookbook in to your repository using Knife:
```
knife cookbook site install datadog 
```

Set the Datadog-specific attributes in either a role, environment, or another recipe. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:

node.default['datadog']['api_key'] = "MY_API_KEY"
# Use an existing application key or create a new one for Chef
node.default['datadog']['application_key'] = "Generate Application Key"

Upload the updated cookbook to your Chef server:

berks upload
# or
knife cookbook upload datadog
knife cookbook list | grep datadog && 
echo -e "e[0;32mdatadog cookbook - OKe[0m" ||
echo -e "e[0;31mmissing datadog cookbook - OKe[0m"

Add the cookbook to your node’s run_list or role:

"run_list": [
 "recipe[datadog::dd-agent]"
]

Wait for the next scheduled chef-client run.

The Datadog Saltstack formula only supports Debian-based and RedHat-based systems.

The following instructions add the Datadog formula to the base Salt environment. To add it to another Salt environment, replace references to base with the name of your Salt environment.

Install using `gitfs_remotes`

Install the Datadog formula in the base environment of your Salt Master node, using the gitfs_remotes option in your Salt Master configuration file (by default /etc/salt/master):

fileserver_backend:
- roots # Active by default, necessary to be able to use the local salt files we define in the next steps
- gitfs # Adds gitfs as a fileserver backend to be able to use gitfs_remotes

gitfs_remotes:
- https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-formula.git:
  - saltenv:
    - base:
    - ref: 3.0 # Pin here the version of the formula you want to use

Restart your Salt Master service:

systemctl restart salt-master

service salt-master restart

Install by cloning the Datadog formula

Clone the Datadog formula on your Salt Master node:

mkdir -p /srv/formulas && cd /srv/formulas git clone https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-formula.git

Add the cloned formula to the base environment in the file_roots of your Salt Master configuration file (by default /etc/salt/master):
```
file_roots:
  base:
    - /srv/salt/
    - /srv/formulas/datadog-formula/
```

Deploy the Agent to your hosts

Add the Datadog formula to your top file (by default /srv/salt/top.sls):
```
base:
  '*':
    - datadog
```
Add a datadog.sls pillar file to your pillar directory (by default /srv/pillar/) and add your API key. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:
```
datadog:
  config:
    api_key: MY_API_KEY
  install_settings:
    agent_version: <AGENT5_VERSION>
```
Add the datadog.sls pillar file to the top pillar file (by default /srv/pillar/top.sls):
```
base:
  '*':
    - datadog
```

To use a specific Agent check or integration on one of your hosts, you can use the checks variable. Here is an example for the directory integration:

datadog:
  config:
    api_key: MY_API_KEY
  install_settings:
    agent_version: <AGENT5_VERSION>
  checks:
    directory:
      config:
        instances:
          - directory: "/srv/pillar"
            name: "pillars"

Refer to the formula Github repository for logs configuration, check examples, and advanced use cases.

Install from source

The Datadog Agent requires python 2.7 and sysstat on Linux.

Use the one-step source install script. Replace MY_API_KEY with your Datadog API key:

DD_API_KEY=MY_API_KEY sh -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataDog/dd-agent/master/packaging/datadog-agent/source/setup_agent.sh)"

The script installs the Agent in its own self-contained sandbox located at ~/.datadog-agent.

To make the installation permanent, set up your init daemon to run $sandbox_dir/bin/agent with $sandbox_dir set at the current working directory. The sandbox directory is portable and can run from any location on your file system. The sandbox directory is set to ~/.datadog-agent by default.
