lita-datadog

A Datadog plugin for Lita.

Installation

Add lita-datadog to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

gem "lita-datadog"

Configuration

Required attributes

You will need a DataDog API key, and an application key. Go to https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api for both.

Add the following variable to your Lita config file:

Lita.configure do |config|
...
  config.handlers.datadog.api_key = '_api_key_goes_here_'
  config.handlers.datadog.application_key = '_app_key_goes_here_'
...
end

Optional attributes

• timerange (Integer) - How long in seconds a time range will be for graphs. Default: 3600
• waittime (Integer) - How long to wait after getting a URL from Datadog to display it (sometimes the graph isn't ready yet). Default: 0

Usage

Graphs

Basic graph of the load on all of your systems:

Lita graph metric:"system.load.1{*}"

Graph of load for one specific system:

Lita graph metric:"system.load.1{host:hostname01}"

Multiple attributes plotted in one graph:

Lita graph metric:"system.load.1{*},system.load.5{*}"

Show graph, with events marked in:

Lita graph metric:"system.load.1{*}" event:"sources:sourcename"

Manipulate time range being graphed:

Lita graph metric:"system.load.1{*}" start:"2 hours ago"
Lita graph metric:"system.load.1{*}" from:"2 hours ago" to:"30 minutes ago"

Graph takes the following arguments:

metric:"<metric>"
event:"<event>"
start:"<time description>"
end:"<time description>"
from:"<time description>"
to:"<time description>"

Time descriptions are parsed by https://github.com/mojombo/chronic

Muting

Muting a host:

Lita dd mute <hostname> [message:"Some reason"]

Unmuting a host:

Lita dd unmute <hostname>
