Sample HTTP Check

This sample shows how to turn any shell script into a Service Check that Datadog can consume and monitor. The aim is simplicity and time-to-value.

Python implementation

This python implementation uses CURL under the covers for maximum flexibility.

It is packaged with make as an example.

To install dependencies:

make build

To run it:

make run MY_URL=(...) DATADOG_API_KEY=(...) DATADOG_APP_KEY=(...)

If you don't want to us make, you can run it from the command line:

DATADOG_API_KEY=... DATADOG_APP_KEY=... venv/bin/python sample.py my-url
