To aid in this, we now have three repos: the [agent repo](https://github.com/datadog/dd-agent), the [core integrations repo](https://github.com/datadog/integrations-core), and the [extras integrations repo](https://github.com/datadog/integrations-extras). Core integrations are officially supported by Datadog, extras are supported by the community.

New in Datadog 5.8.0 (May 23, 2016)

  • NEW INTEGRATIONS:
  • Kong
  • PowerDNS Recursor
  • Spark
  • UPDATED INTEGRATIONS:
  • ActiveMQ
  • Cassandra
  • Directory
  • Disk
  • Docker
  • Elasticsearch
  • Ganglia
  • Graphite
  • HAProxy
  • HTTP Check
  • JMX
  • Kubernetes
  • MapReduce
  • Marathon
  • Memcached

  • Process
  • RabbitMQ
  • Riak
  • TeamCity
  • TokuMX
  • Varnish
  • vSphere
  • Windows
  • Windows Service
  • WMI
  • YARN
  • SERVICE DISCOVERY:
  • Starting with the 5.8 release, the Datadog Agent ships with service discovery. This feature works for Docker containers and can run on platforms such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Amazon ECS.
  • Service discovery makes it possible to define configuration templates for a given Docker image in a configuration store, and to dynamically apply them to new containers on the fly. The Agent will then use these configuration templates combined with container metadata to enable, disable and reconfigure checks dynamically in response to container start/stop events.
  • For more details on Datadog Agent's Service Discovery, check out the wiki page.
  • KONG INTEGRATION:
  • Kong is an open-source management layer for APIs.
  • The checks collects metrics using /status endpoint part of Kong RESTful API. It retrieves usage information about the node, with some basic information about the connections being processed by the underlying NGINX process, and the number of entities stored in the datastore collections. It also submits a service check to reflect the agent's ability to connect to the instance.
  • SPARK INTEGRATION:
  • The Spark check runs from the Master Node and retrieves metrics from YARN's ResourceManager. The collected metrics cover statistics about:
  • Spark Jobs
  • Spark Stages
  • Spark Executors
  • Spark Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDD)
  • POWERDNS RECURSOR INTEGRATION:
  • The PowerDNS Recursor check retrieves metrics using the /servers/localhost/statistics endpoint part of PowerDNS API when the experimental web server is active. The collected metrics cover the Recursor statistics: (outgoing) queries, answers, cache and cache entries. A service check reflects the agent's ability to connect to the instance.
  • For more details about the metrics collected, check out the PowerDNS documentation about Recursor Statistics.
  • MAPREDUCE & YARN UPDATES:
  • Hadoop MapReduce and YARN integrations have been updated to reduce and consolidate the metrics' tags. In particular:
  • cluster_name tag replaces cluster_id
  • app_name tag replaces app_id
  • MapReduce metrics have received additional improvements and cleanups:
  • Metric type rate replaces gauge when applicable
  • The following metrics have been removed: mapreduce.job.map.task.progress, mapreduce.job.reduce.task.progress
  • SOURCE INSTALL: END OF PYTHON 2.6 COMPATIBILITY SUPPORT:
  • For source installation, the Datadog Agent uses system's Python. Starting with the 5.8.0 release, the Datadog Agent does not enforce compatibility with Python 2.6 anymore and requires Python 2.7. Tests and code sections used to maintain compability have been removed.
  • Users running a different version of Python on their system are advised to install a packaged version of the Datadog Agent. If you have any questions, please contact our support team support(at)datadoghq(dot)com.
