This capability sends application logs and metrics to Datadog for ECS (Fargate-based or EC2-based).
Application logs are configured to send to Datadog in near real-time. (<1 min latency)
These logs are tagged with stack, block, and env.
The application logs are immediately sent to Cloudwatch and transmitted to Datadog via Kinesis Firehose.
The Datadog agent is added to your application as a sidecar container. This agent collects metrics from AWS and custom metrics from your application and sends them to Datadog in near real-time.
The Datadog agent is configured as an OpenTelemetry agent with a gRPC listener on port 4317 and HTTP listener on port 4318.
This module automatically injects OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT environment variable into the app.
This endpoint refers to the HTTP listener.
