Datadog Training - Day 2 Assignment (12-9-2023)

I. Write it down a step to collect apache metrices to datadog
1. Install Datadog Agent in Ubuntu
Register at https://www.datadoghq.com/
Select the UBUNTU from the Datadog supported agent list
Run the commands in ubuntu -

             $ D_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION=7 DD_API_KEY=XXX DD_SITE="datadoghq.com" bash -c "$(curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/dd-agent/scripts/install_script.sh)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

systemctl start datadog-agent
systemctl status datadog-agent
datadog-agent status
 You would get output at the end of Installation
Adding you api key to Agent config: /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yml

2. Install Apache HTTPD server in Ubuntu
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install apache2
 # Setup webiste in default virtual host
$ rm /var/www/html/index.html
$ vi /var/www/html/index.html

    <html>
    <head>
        <title> Welcome to DevOpsSchool.com </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p> I'm running this website on an Ubuntu Server server!
    </body>
    </html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
# Restart Apache
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

$ service apache2 reload
$ service apache2 restart
 # Validate
$ watch curl http://localhost

3. Go to datadog console, https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations -> Integrations -> Search For Apache and Install the integration
4. Enable mod_status & ExtendedStatus in Apache
By default, Apache ships with the mod_status module already enabled. Verify by running, $ ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled | grep status*
Output:
status.conf
status.load
Enable mod_status module by invoking the command:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/a2enmod status
 Configure mod_status in Apache Ubuntu
` sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/status.conf



Require all granted

`

Replace ip <>

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
$ sudo systemctl status apache2
$ curl http://localhost/server-status
 5. Enable Datadog Apache Integration configuration to start collecting your Apache metrics.
` $ cd /etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/apache.d/
$ sudo cp conf.yaml.example conf.yaml
$ sudo vi conf.yaml

`              instances:
                    - apache_status_url: http:localhost/server-status?auto        #localhost can be added with IP if it is a remote agent
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

$ sudo systemctl restart datadog-agent
watch curl http://localhost/
 6. Validate if datadog agent is monitoring Apache
$ datadog-agent configcheck | grep apache -A 5 -B 5
 Output:
=== apache check ===
Configuration provider: file
Configuration source: file:/etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/apache.d/conf.yaml
$ datadog-agent status | grep apache -B 5 -A 15
 ==Running Checks apache====

  1. Create a dummy traffic on Apache 
        $ while true; do curl -s -o /dev/null http://localhost & done
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Verify the Apache Metrix on Datadog Console

II. Write it down a step to collect tomcat metrices to datadog
Step A: Loginto Datadog console, Integrations -> Search for Tomcat and Click Install
Step 1: Install Open JDK 11
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk -y
$ apt install openjdk-11-jdk-headless -y
Step 2: Download Apache Tomcat 9 in ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install wget unzip -y
$ sudo -s
$ cd /opt/
$ wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.80/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.80.zip
$ unzip apache-tomcat-9.0.80.zip
$ cd apache-tomcat-9.0.73
$ cd bin
$ chmod -R 755 .
$ ls
$ ./shutdown.sh
$ ./startup.sh
Step 3: Enable JMX Remote in Tomcat 8 to Monitor & Administer $ vi /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.73/bin/catalina.sh

Add these below lines 

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9012 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

$ ./shutdown.sh
$ ./startup.sh
Step 4: Configure and enable Tomcat intergration in Datadog agent
$ cd /etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/tomcat.d/
$ cp conf.yaml.example conf.yaml
$ datadog-agent configcheck
$ systemctl restart datadog-agent
$ systemctl status datadog-agent
$ datadog-agent configcheck | grep tomcat -A 1 B 1
 Output:
==tomcat check====
Step 5: In datadog console, Go to Metrics tab, search for tomcat metrices and also in Infrastructure list under Ubuntu VM check for tomcat apps

III. Write it down a step to collect docker metrices to datadog
Step 1 – Enable Datadog Process Monitoring
Step 2 – Install Docker Server
Step 3 – Enable Docker integration with Datadog

These commands to configure Agent for Docker Intergration.

Add the user running the Agent to Docker's group.

$ usermod -a -G docker dd-agent

`$ cd /etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/docker.d/
$ cp conf.yaml.default conf.yaml
$ vi conf.yaml

`
ad_identifiers:

  • _docker init_config: instances:
    • url: "unix://var/run/docker.sock" new_tag_names: true ` $ systemctl restart datadog-agent $ systemctl status datadog-agent $ datadog-agent configcheck $ datadog-agent check docker $ datadog-agent status | grep docker -B 5 -A 5 ========= Collector ========= Step 4 – Create few containers and Verify $ docker run -itd ubuntu $ docker run -itd ubuntu $ docker run -itd ubuntu $ docker ps `Step 5 - Verify Containers at Datadog console In console -> Integrations -> Docker Install -> Metrics -> Explorer -> Search for command:containerd-shim-runc-v2

IV. - Write it down a step to collect mysql metrices to datadog Step 1 – Install Datadog Agent in Ubuntu
Register at https://www.datadoghq.com/
Select the UBUNTU from the Datadog supported agent list
Run the commands in ubuntu -

            $ D_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION=7 DD_API_KEY=XXX DD_SITE="datadoghq.com" bash -c "$(curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/dd-agent/scripts/install_script.sh)"
                $ systemctl start datadog-agent
                $ systemctl status datadog-agent
        $ datadog-agent status
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
          You would get output at the end of Installation
              Adding you api key to Agent config: /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yml
    (Mysql by default comes with Dataagent package)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2 – Prepare MySQL. On each MySQL server, create a database user for the Datadog Agent:
Go to datadog console, Integrations, Mysql -> Install
Step 3 - Login Mysql in Ubuntu. Run the below commands

        $ sudo su -
        $ mysql -h localhost -u root -p
        mysql> CREATE USER 'datadog'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<UNIQUEPASSWORD>';
        mysql> CREATE USER 'datadog'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password by '<UNIQUEPASSWORD>';
        mysql -u datadog --password='<UNIQUEPASSWORD>' -e "show status" | \
grep Uptime && echo -e "3[0;32mMySQL user - OK3[0m" || \
echo -e "3[0;31mCannot connect to MySQL3[0m"
        mysql -u datadog --password='<UNIQUEPASSWORD>' -e "show slave status" && \
echo -e "3[0;32mMySQL grant - OK3[0m" || \
echo -e "3[0;31mMissing REPLICATION CLIENT grant3[0m"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4 - The Agent needs a few privileges to collect metrics. Grant the user the following limited privileges ONLY:

        mysql> GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'datadog'@'localhost' WITH MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 5;
        mysql> GRANT PROCESS ON *.* TO 'datadog'@'localhost';
        mysql> ALTER USER 'datadog'@'localhost' WITH MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 5;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If enabled, metrics can be collected from the performance_schema database by granting an additional privilege:

        mysql> show databases like 'performance_schema';
Output:     
            | Database (performance_schema) |
                +-------------------------------+
                | performance_schema            |
        mysql> GRANT SELECT ON performance_schema.* TO 'datadog'@'localhost';
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5 - Configure Datadog agent to start collection mysql metrics.
Edit the mysql.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your MySQL metrics and logs

        $ cd /etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/mysql.d/
        $ sudo cp conf.yaml.example conf.yaml
        $ sudo vi conf.yaml
        init_config:
        instances:
          - server: 127.0.0.1
            user: datadog
            pass: "<YOUR_CHOSEN_PASSWORD>" # from the CREATE USER step earlier
            port: "<YOUR_MYSQL_PORT>" # e.g. 3306
            options:
                  replication: false
                  galera_cluster: true
                  extra_status_metrics: true
                  extra_innodb_metrics: true
                  extra_performance_metrics: true
                  schema_size_metrics: false
                  disable_innodb_metrics: false
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Note: Wrap your password in single quotes in case a special character is present.
Step 6: Validate mysql metrices
$ systemctl restart datadog-agent
$ datadog-agent status
In metrics explorer UI console, You would be able to see the mysql data reporting
