Agent Check: ArangoDB

Overview

This check monitors ArangoDB through the Datadog Agent. ArangoDB 3.8 and above are supported.

Enable the Datadog-ArangoDB integration to:

  • Identify slow queries based on user-defined thresholds.
  • Understand the impact of a long request and troubleshoot latency issues.
  • Monitor underlying RocksDB memory, disk, and cache limits.

Setup

Follow the instructions below to install and configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates to apply these instructions.

Installation

The ArangoDB check is included in the Datadog Agent package.

Configuration

  1. Edit the arangodb.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting your ArangoDB performance data. See the sample arangodb.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

  2. Restart the Agent.

Validation

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for arangodb under the Checks section.

Data Collected

Metrics

See metadata.csv for a list of metrics provided by this check.

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

To collect logs from your ArangoDB instance, first make sure that your ArangoDB is configured to output logs to a file. For example, if using the arangod.conf file to configure your ArangoDB instance, you should include the following:

# ArangoDB configuration file
#
# Documentation:
# https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/administration-configuration.html
#

...

[log]
file = /var/log/arangodb3/arangod.log 

...

ArangoDB logs contain many options for log verbosity and output files. Datadog's integration pipeline supports the default conversion pattern.

  1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

    logs_enabled: true

  2. Uncomment and edit the logs configuration block in your arangodb.d/conf.yaml file:

    logs:
   - type: file
     path: /var/log/arangodb3/arangod.log
     source: arangodb

Events

The ArangoDB integration does not include any events.

Service Checks
