Portworx Integration

Overview

Get metrics from Portworx service in real time to:

• Monitor health and performance of your Portworx Cluster
• Track disk usage, latency and throughput for Portworx volumes

Setup

Installation

The Portworx check is NOT included in the Datadog Agent package.

To install the Portworx check on your host:

1. Download the Datadog Agent
2. Download the check.py file for Portworx
3. Place it in the Agent's checks.d directory
4. Rename it to portworx.py

Configuration

Create a file portworx.yaml in the Agent's conf.d directory.

Metric Collection

• Add this configuration setup to your portworx.yaml file to start gathering your portworx metrics:

init_config:

instances:
 # url of the metrics endpoint of prometheus
 - prometheus_endpoint: http://localhost:9001/metrics

Configure it to point to your server and port.

See the sample portworx.yaml for all available configuration options.

• Restart the Agent to begin sending Portworx metrics to Datadog.
