The purpose of this repo is to provide an automated solution for setting up the Datadog agent in various Azure resources.

• Create a <DIR_NAME>/terraform.tfvars within the same level as the <DIR_NAME>/main.tf

(Note: replace <DIR_NAME> with k8 for example).

This repo assumes you have already created an Azure service principal. More information on how to create a Azure service principal can be found here.

• Provide the following keys & corresponding values:
  • subscription_id = <AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>
  • client_id = <AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_APP_ID>
  • client_secret = <AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_PASSWORD>
  • tenant_id = <AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_TENANT_ID>
  • datadog_api_key = <DD_API_KEY>
  • location = <AVAILABILITY_ZONE>

(Note: there are additional values that can be passed in, which depend on the Azure resources being created).

• Naivigate to linux_vm directory.
• Create a SSH key pair for access to the Linux VM.
  • Run the following in on your local shell ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -b 4096 & update the value within the terraform.tfvars to point the created pub file.
• Apply the Terraform scripts:
  • terraform init
  • terraform plan
  • terraform apply
  • terraform apply -destroy can be used to remove the instance.

• Navigate to windows_vm directory.
• In the install-datadog.ps1 file replace _API_KEY_HERE with your organization's Datadog API key.
• Apply the Terraform scripts:
  • terraform init
  • terraform plan
  • terraform apply
  • terraform apply -destroy can be used to remove the instance.
