# Configure Monitoring with Datadog

You can integrate SingleStore with Datadog and collect metrics used to monitor a cluster.

> **📝 Note**: The SingleStore integration does not include any Datadog events.

## Prerequisites

[Install](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/) the Datadog Agent. The SingleStore check is a part of the Datadog Agent package, and no additional installation is required.

For containerized environments, enable [Autodiscovery](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/agent/autodiscovery/).

## Configure Datadog

You can configure Datadog to collect metrics and logs. The configuration steps differ based on whether SingleStore is deployed on the host or inside a container.

> **📝 Note**: To verify if the Datadog Agent is collecting metrics/logs from SingleStore, run the [Agent’s status](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/guide/agent-commands/#agent-status-and-information) subcommand, and find `SingleStore` under the Checks section.

## Host Environment

**Configure Metric Collection**

To collect SingleStore performance metrics:

1. Configure the `conf.d/singlestore.d/conf.yaml` file at the root of the Agent’s configuration directory. Here’s a [sample conf.yaml](https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/blob/master/singlestore/datadog_checks/singlestore/data/conf.yaml.example) file.

2. Restart the Agent.

> **📝 Note**: By default, the SingleStore integration collects metrics from the following tables: `MV_GLOBAL_STATUS`, `AGGREGATORS`, and `LEAVES`. To collect system level metrics (for example, CPU, disk, network IO, and memory), set `collect_system_metrics` as `true` in `singlestore.d/conf.yaml` file.

**Configure Log Collection**

Log collection is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. To enable log collection:

1. Set `logs_enabled` as `true` in the `datadog.yaml` file.

2. Add the log files in `singlestore.d/conf.yaml` to start collecting SingleStore logs. For example,
   ```yaml
    logs:
       - type: file
         path: /var/lib/memsql/<NODE_ID>/tracelogs/memsql.log
         source: singlestore
         service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
   ```

3. Restart the Agent.

## Containerized Environment

**Configure Metric Collection**

To collect SingleStore performance metrics in a containerized environment, update the following parameters in the configuration file:

| Parameter            | Value                                                                                                   |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `<INTEGRATION_NAME>` | `SingleStore`                                                                                           |
| `<INIT_CONFIG>`      | blank or`{}`                                                                                            |
| `<INSTANCE_CONFIG>`  | `{"host": "%%host%%", "port": "%%port%%", "username": "singlestore_user", "password": "user_password"}` |

See [Autodiscovery Integration Templates](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/agent/autodiscovery#integration-templates) for information on updating these parameters.

> **📝 Note**: By default, the SingleStore integration collects metrics from the following tables: `MV_GLOBAL_STATUS`, `AGGREGATORS`, and `LEAVES`. To collect system level metrics (for example, CPU, disk, network IO, and memory), set `collect_system_metrics` as `true` in `singlestore.d/conf.yaml` file.

**Configure Log Collection**

Log collection is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. To enable log collection, update the following parameter:

| Parameter      | Value                                                           |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `<LOG_CONFIG>` | `{"source": "singlestore", "service": "<name_of_the_service>"}` |

See [Kubernetes Log collection](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/kubernetes/log/) for more information.

## Service Checks

The SingleStore integration supports the following service checks:

| Service Check             | Description                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `singlestore.can_connect` | Returns`CRITICAL`if the Agent is unable to connect to theSingleStoreinstance or collect metrics. Otherwise, returns`OK`. |

## List of Metrics

Refer to [SingleStore Datadog Integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/singlestore/#data-collected) for a complete list of all the metrics that the Datadog Agent collects from the connected SingleStore cluster.
