Overview

Datadog Application Monitoring for VMWare Tanzu enables VMware Tanzu users to monitor the health and performance of their applications. It consists of the following three components:

• DogStatsD
• Trace Agent
• Container Agent

You can use DogStatsD to get your custom application metrics into Datadog. DogStatsD is a metrics aggregation service that implements the StatsD protocol and adds a few Datadog-specific extensions. For more information, see the DogStatsD documentation. Additionally, Datadog provides a list of DogStatsD libraries you can use to find libraries compatible with your application.

The Trace Agent is a service that collects application traces from various sources and forwards them to Datadog APM. For more information, see the tracing documentation.

The Container Agent is a smaller, lightweight version of the Datadog Agent that can forward metrics and logs to Datadog. See the logs documentation for more information. When enabled, the default behavior is for all logs from stdout and stderr to be collected and forwarded by TCP to the Container Agent.
