Get metrics from Convox in real time to visualize your containers' performance.

See the Convox documentation to set up the Datadog integration.

You can deploy the Datadog Agent as a Convox app by using a docker-compose.yml manifest. Use a count that matches the InstanceCount parameter of your Rack.

# check out the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/convox-examples/datadog.git
$ cd dd-agent

# deploy the agent app and secret
$ convox apps create
$ convox env set DD_API_KEY=<your api key>
$ convox deploy
$ convox scale agent --count=3 --cpu=10 --memory=128

Run convox deploy to deploy Datadog Agent into ECS.

If autoscaling is enabled on your Rack, you need to dynamically scale the Datadog Agent count to match the Rack instance count.

For more information, see the Listening for ECS CloudWatch Events tutorial.

The Convox integration does not include any metrics.

The Convox integration does not include any events.

The Convox integration does not include any service checks.

When configuring environment variables in the convox.yml file, the environment parameter must be defined on the same level as the services parameter.
