Datadog

Monitor and observe your SDK with Datadog.

Datadog supports different languages, frameworks, and platforms to retrieve metrics and traces.

Java SDK

Prerequisites

  • Version 17.6 (or later) of the Java SDK
  • Active Datadog account with an API key

Include the Datadog middleware in the Java SDK

The Java SDK integrates with Datadog through the commercetools-monitoring-datadog module.

After adding commercetools-monitoring-datadog as a dependency in your application, add the Datadog middleware and serializer to your SDK using the .withTelemetryMiddleware() and withSerializer() methods.

Create a Java SDK client with Datadog telemetry middlewareJava
ApiHttpClient apiHttpClient = ApiRootBuilder
.of()
.defaultClient(ServiceRegion.GCP_EUROPE_WEST1.getApiUrl())
.withTelemetryMiddleware(
new DatadogMiddleware(ApiClient.getDefaultApiClient())
)
.withSerializer(
new DatadogResponseSerializer(
ResponseSerializer.of(),
ApiClient.getDefaultApiClient()
)
)
.buildClient();

The commercetools-monitoring-datadog module includes telemetry middleware for monitoring request execution and response times, alongside counters for requests and errors. In addition, the DatadogResponseSerializer tracks the time taken to serialize and deserialize JSON payloads.

For an example of integrating Datadog with the Java SDK, refer to the Spring Boot Datadog example application.

TypeScript SDK

Prerequisites

  • Version 2.0.0 (or later) of the TypeScript SDK
  • Version 5.5.0 of the Datadog dd-trace package
  • Active Datadog account with an API key
  • Install the appropriate Datadog integration for your environment if you are using a non-containerized service or direct host integration
    • You can run the script install.sh to install the Datadog agent on macOS

Include the Datadog middleware in the TypeScript SDK

The TypeScript SDK integrates Datadog using the @commercetools/ts-sdk-apm module.

Create a tracer.js or tracer.ts module in your project and add the following:

tracer.tstypescript
import tracer from 'dd-trace';
tracer.init();
export default tracer;
tracer.jsJavaScript
require('dd-trace').init();

After adding @commercetools/ts-sdk-apm as a dependency, add the Datadog instrumentation to your app using the withTelemetryMiddleware() middleware method.

Create a TypeScript SDK client with Datadog telemetry middlewaretypescript
import { ClientBuilder } from '@commercetools/sdk-client-v2'
import { createTelemetryMiddleware } from '@commercetools/ts-sdk-apm'
// Configure the telemetry options
const telemetryOptions = {
tracer: () => require('./tracer'), // path to the tracer.js file
userAgent: 'typescript-sdk-middleware-datadog',
createTelemetryMiddleware
}
// Create the client with the withTelemetryMiddleware() middleware
const client = new ClientBuilder()
.withClientCredentialsFlow(...)
.withHttpMiddleware(...)
.withTelemetryMiddleware(telemetryOptions) // telemetry middleware
...
.build()

@commercetools/ts-sdk-am adds the Datadog instrumentation module for monitoring request execution and response times, alongside counters for requests, errors, and other metrics.

For an example of integrating Datadog with the TypeScript SDK using a host or containerized agent, refer to the Datadog example application.
