• Deploying Datadog Agent as a deployment without customizing the helm chart

  The example https://github.com/DataDog/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/datadog/values.yaml they provide list of all variables supported by the agent so should be pretty straight forward to copy paste the stuff that you need into your own values.yaml

  Not to mention that, by default, they bill by the whole calendar month for each infrastructure and APM host. Scale your Kubernetes cluster up and then back down? That'll be an extra $18 + $36 per additional node (not $15 + $31 – that's the contract pricing, not the on-demand pricing), even if they were only online for a few days – even if they were only online for thirty seconds. Swap out a node? By default they bill by unique instances, not by number of instances, so they'll bill you for that, too.

  If you ask them about it, they'll “happily” put you onto hourly on-demand billing (which seems to fix the unique vs. count thing, too), which is more expensive if you let something run on-demand for a whole month... but isn't the point of an on-demand service that you're not running it for a whole billing period?

  Not to mention that their agent logs fairly noisily, and of course its logs count toward your quota! I upgraded a cluster without also upgrading the agent, and didn't notice for about a week that each agent was happily spamming away about some long-deprecated Kubernetes API no longer being available[0]. At $2.55/million log lines and fewer than a million lines logged, this was not a costly mistake, but it's the principle of the thing. Why should an incompatibility in their agent (which their dashboard could specifically alert about, but doesn't!) cost me money?

• APM with Datadog on EKS + Fargate

  After that, we have to edit values.yaml file, which will be used as a configuration file used by datadog agent running in the cluster. The fields I overrided(edited) are as below.

  These are the commands to install the Datadog agent in your cluster using Helm v3 with the default values. Make sure to copy your API key from Datadog dashboard in the install command.
