Agent Check: Syncthing

Overview

Syncthing synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time. This integration allows you to monitor Syncthing using Datadog.

Setup

The Syncthing check is not included in the Datadog Agent package, so you need to install it.

Installation

For Agent v7.21+ / v6.21+, follow the instructions below to install the Syncthing check on your host. See Use Community Integrations to install the Syncthing check with the Docker Agent or earlier versions of the Agent.

1. Run the following command to install the Agent integration:

   datadog-agent integration install -t datadog-syncthing==<INTEGRATION_VERSION>

2. Configure your integration similar to core integrations.

Configuration

1. Edit the syncthing.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting your Syncthing metrics. See the sample syncthing.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

2. Restart the Agent
