Active Directory Integration

Overview

Get metrics from Microsoft Active Directory to visualize and monitor its performances.

Setup

Installation

The Agent's Active Directory check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don't need to install anything else on your servers.

If installing the Datadog Agent on a domain environment, see the installation requirements for the Agent

Configuration

Metric collection

1. Edit the active_directory.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting your Active Directory performance data. The default setup should already collect metrics for the localhost. See the sample active_directory.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

2. Restart the Agent

Note: Versions 1.13.0 or later of this check use a new implementation for metric collection, which requires Python 3. For hosts that are unable to use Python 3, or if you would like to use a legacy version of this check, refer to the following config.

Validation

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for active_directory under the Checks section.
