Adding Datadog agent with AWS Copilot

Monitoring and Observability Datadog
1

I’m trying to add a Datadog agent using AWS Copilot, I’ve got the agent image listed as a sidecar which seems to be delivering metrics from the ECS Fargate into Datadog but the installation isn’t marked as completed in Datadog.

I can’t find much in way of documentation for using the sidecar approach, so I’m fairly convinced I’m missing something rather obvious. Here’s the current config:

  datadog:
    image: public.ecr.aws/datadog/agent
    port: 8126
    variables:
      ECS_FARGATE: true
      DD_APM_ENABLED: true
      DD_DOGSTATSD_STATS_ENABLE: true
      DD_DOGSTATSD_NON_LOCAL_TRAFFIC: true
      DD_SITE: [datadoghq.eu](http://datadoghq.eu)```

Hi ! i’m not sure that we have docs specific to AWS Copilot, but I am linking the following:

3

• doc on ECS fargate setup with instructions on running the agent as a sidecar: https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/ecs_fargate/?tab=webui#pagetitle

4

• blog with an example deployment (task def) fore reference: https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/aws-fargate-monitoring-with-datadog/#deploy-the-agent-on-ecs

I’d like to further investigate why the agent installation is not marked as completed in your case. can you send a flare using these instructions: https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/troubleshooting/send_a_flare/?tab=agentv6v7#ecs-fargate

And let me know what ticket ID it’s sent to so I can take a look!
