Datadog Metric Exporter

Exports custom metrics and traces to Datadog using the DogStatsD protocol and Datadog API v2. Supports histogram aggregation, tag-based filtering, and SLO tracking.

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• $ npm install dd-trace
• $ yarn add dd-trace
• $ npm install dd-trace@4 # or whatever version you need
• $ yarn add dd-trace@4 # or whatever version you need

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• dd-trace: Node.js APM Tracer Library

• dd-trace is an npm package that you can install in your Node.js application to capture APM (Application Performance Monitoring) data. In Datadog terminology this library is called a Tracer. This data is then sent off...
• Tracing Node.js Applications - most project documentation, including setup instructions
