a6-plugin-datadog

Overview

The datadog plugin pushes per-request metrics to a Datadog Agent via the DogStatsD protocol (UDP). It reports request counts, latency, bandwidth, and upstream timing with automatic tags for route, service, consumer, status code, and more.

When to Use

• Monitor APISIX with Datadog APM and dashboards
• Track request rates, latency, and error rates per route
• Add custom tags for business-level metrics
• Integrate with existing Datadog infrastructure
