  2. Install Docker server. For example, follow this link for installing in Ubuntu

  3. Enable Docker integration with Datadog by modifying conf.yaml file located inside /etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/docker.d/. Need to create this file first by making a copy from conf.yaml.default.

  4. Restart the Datadog agent.

  5. Create a few containers as well.

  6. Finally verify whether docker & container metrices are appearing and containers are reporting in Datadog.
