A simple Datadog integration to report on Rails application performance.

Datadoge

This gem is notified of basic performance metrics for a Rails application, and sends the measurements to DataDog.

Many thanks to mm53bar for the groundwork laid in this gist.

Installation

Install the Datadog Agent on your application server. This gem only works on servers which have the Datadog Agent installed.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'datadoge'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install datadoge

Usage

By default, performance metrics are only reported to Datadog from production environments which have the Datadog agent installed.

To enable Datadog reporting in non-production environments, add the following to an initializer:

Datadoge.configure do |config|
  config.environments = ['staging', 'production']
end

To add additional tags, add the following to the configuration:

config.tags = ['role:myapp', 'host:myapp-1', 'region:east']

Override the default metric name with the following configuration:

config.metric = :rails_performance
