Spice can be monitored with Datadog (opens in a new tab) using the Spice Metrics Endpoint (opens in a new tab) and pre-built dashboards available in the Spice repository (opens in a new tab).

Datadog Agent Configuration

Prerequisite: Datadog Agent version 6.5.0 or later is installed (opens in a new tab).

Configure the Datadog Agent to scrape the Spice metrics endpoint:

1. Edit the openmetrics.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory (opens in a new tab):

init_config:

instances:
    - prometheus_url: SPICE-METRICS-ENDPOINT>/metrics # for example http://localhost:9090/metrics
      namespace: spice
      metrics:
          - '*'

init_config:

instances:
    - prometheus_url: SPICE-METRICS-ENDPOINT>/metrics # for example http://localhost:9090/metrics
      namespace: spice
      metrics:
          - '*'

1. Restart the Agent (opens in a new tab) to start collecting Spice metrics.
2. Refer to Prometheus and OpenMetrics metrics collection from a host (opens in a new tab) for all available configuration options and supported parameters.
3. Open Datadog Metrics Explorer and type spice to confirm Spice telemetry information is successfully collected.
