Monitor Spice Cloud with Datadog

Spice Cloud can be monitored with Datadog using the Metrics endpoint and a pre-built dashboard available in the Spice repository.

Datadog Agent Configuration

Prerequisite: Datadog Agent version 6.5.0 or later is installed.

Configure the Datadog Agent to scrape your Spice Cloud metrics endpoint. Edit the openmetrics.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory:

init_config:

instances:
  - prometheus_url: https://<app-cname>.spiceai.io/v1/metrics
    headers:
      X-API-Key: <API_KEY>
    namespace: spice
    metrics:
      - '*'

Replace <app-cname> with your app's CNAME (e.g. us-west-2-prod-aws-data) and <API_KEY> with your app API key.

Restart the Agent to start collecting Spice metrics. Refer to Prometheus and OpenMetrics metrics collection from a host for all available configuration options and supported parameters.

Open the Datadog Metrics Explorer and type spice to confirm Spice telemetry is successfully collected.
