Datadog
Spice can be monitored with Datadog using the Spice Metrics Endpoint.
Metrics Endpoint Configuration​
The metrics endpoint uses port 9090
by default. The metrics endpoint configuration is logged at startup.
2024-07-15T21:48:00.158267Z INFO spiced: Metrics listening on 127.0.0.1:9090
Pass the --metrics
parameter to bind to a specific port. For example, to bind to port 9091
:
spiced --metrics 0.0.0.0:9091
or when using Docker:
FROM spiceai/spiceai:latest
# Docker configuration ...
# Configure the metrics endpoint on port 9090
CMD ["--metrics", "0.0.0.0:9090"]
EXPOSE 9090
Configuration of the metrics endpoint can be verified using a HTTP GET request, for example:
curl http://localhost:9090/metrics
# TYPE spiced_runtime_http_server_start counter
spiced_runtime_http_server_start 1
# TYPE spiced_runtime_flight_server_start counter
spiced_runtime_flight_server_start 1
# TYPE datasets_count gauge
datasets_count{engine="None"} 1
datasets_count{engine="arrow"} 1
...
Datadog Agent Configuration​
Prerequisite: Datadog Agent version 6.5.0 or later is installed.
Configure the Datadog Agent to scrape the Spice metrics endpoint:
- Edit the
openmetrics.d/conf.yaml
file in theconf.d/
folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory:
init_config:
instances:
- prometheus_url: SPICE-METRICS-ENDPOINT>/metrics # for example http://localhost:9090/metrics
namespace: spice
metrics:
- '*'
- 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 Datadog Metrics Explorer and type
spice
to confirm Spice telemetry information is successfully collected.
