Datadog Agent

Moneat can ingest telemetry from the Datadog Agent, giving you infrastructure monitoring, APM traces, continuous profiling, log collection, and more - without sending data to Datadog. Deploy the standard Datadog Agent on your hosts and point it at your Moneat instance.

Availability

Datadog-compatible ingestion is included on all standard plans. Usage and retention follow your plan's ingestion, host, APM span, custom metric, and infrastructure metric limits. Self-hosted builds that use module licensing may also need the datadog module enabled for specialized monitoring dashboards.

How it works

The Datadog Agent collects system metrics, APM traces, logs, and profiles from your hosts and containers. Moneat implements a compatible ingestion API at the /dd endpoint, so the agent sends data to Moneat instead of Datadog's servers.

What you get:

  • Host monitoring - CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics from every host
  • Container monitoring - Docker container stats, images, and resource usage
  • APM traces - Distributed traces with service maps, latency, and error tracking
  • Continuous profiling - CPU, heap, wall-time, and other profile types
  • Log collection - Structured logs with Datadog-compatible query syntax
  • Process monitoring - Running processes and resource consumption
  • Network monitoring - Network flow data between services
  • Kubernetes monitoring - Pods, nodes, services, deployments, and more
  • Database monitoring - Slow query tracking and database performance
  • Dynamic instrumentation - Debug live applications with probes
  • Synthetic tests - Create and schedule API tests from the dashboard
  • Network device monitoring - SNMP devices, traps, and flow data
  • SBOM - Software package inventory with CVE tracking

Quick start

  1. Create an agent API key in your Moneat dashboard
  2. Deploy the agent on your host using Docker
  3. Metrics, traces, and logs start appearing in the Monitoring tab automatically
