Observe in Datadog

For a Groundplex deployed on Kubernetes, observe metrics in Datadog.

After configuring the OTEL Kubernetes DaemonSet and the Groundplex nodes, follow these steps to observe metrics in Datadog:

  1. Run some pipelines on the Groundplex.
  2. In Datadog, check the logs. You should see log entries related to asset executions. Log entries contain an Invoker type of nodeLabel . This shows which node asset executed:
    Datadog node label

  3. Check the values on the Metrics page. Refer to Node metric reference for metric descriptions. Datadog Metrics Summary
  4. You can use widgets to create a dashboard that captures the most important metrics: Datadog widgets

Refer to Node metric reference for a description of the available metrics.
