Hi,

Currently, we are monitoring azure container apps (ACA) services and now we are planning to use data dog DogStatsD client lib to send custom metrics. According to this article: https://docs.datadoghq.com/serverless/azure_container_apps/ we should be able to do it right?.

The library requires to set DD_AGENT_HOST.

We would be the host ip and for an ACA service?

THanks

    It worked by adding these variables

    • name: "DD_AGENT_HOST"   value: "127.0.0.1"
    • name: "DD_DOGSTATSD_PORT"   value: 8126

    Issue: OP was monitoring azure container apps and wanted to know if data dog DogStatsD client lib can be used to send custom metrics.

    Solution: you should be able to use the DogStatsD client library to send custom metrics from your Azure Container Apps (ACA) services to Datadog.

    it worked for OP by adding the environment variables DD_AGENT_HOST to 127.0.0.1 and DD_DOGSTATSD_PORT to 8126
