datadog-writer

A module that enables go programs to write observability data directly to DataDog endpoints rather than depending on the DataDog Agent

Using this module

package main

import (
	"io"
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
	"github.com/rs/zerolog/log"
	"github.com/trevorrobertsjr/datadogwriter"
)

func main() {

	// Configure logger
	datadogWriter := &datadogwriter.DatadogWriter{
		Service:  "your-service",
		Hostname: "your-server",
		Tags:     "env:staging,version:1.0",
		Source:   "your-source",
	}
	log.Logger = zerolog.New(io.MultiWriter(os.Stdout, datadogWriter)).With().Timestamp().Logger()

	log.Info().Msg("Reading config...")

}

Your program needs to provide your API key and assigned datadog site as environment variables. If your datadog site is the default (datadoghq.com), you do not need to set the DD_SITE environment variable.

DD_API_KEY=YourApiKey DD_SITE=us5.datadoghq.com go run main.go
