To configure Datadog metrics monitoring for APISIX, you use the a6 CLI to enable the datadog plugin on a route, which pushes per-request metrics to your DogStatsD endpoint. You can set a namespace and attach constant or route-specific tags.
You set up global DogStatsD connection details for all APISIX routes by configuring the host and port through plugin_metadata. This centralizes your Datadog Agent connection settings so every route and service uses the same endpoint.
Yes, you can attach custom tags to APISIX Datadog metrics across environments. The a6 CLI allows you to configure both constant tags via plugin_metadata and route-specific tags on individual route plugin settings for granular monitoring.
Yes, the APISIX Datadog plugin supports batching and latency tracking. When enabled on a route via a6, it collects per-request metrics including upstream timing and batches them before pushing the data to your DogStatsD endpoint.
DogStatsD is a protocol used to push per-request metrics from APISIX to a Datadog Agent. It enables route- and service-level monitoring by sending real-time request rates, latencies, and upstream timing data with customizable tags.
