Spring Boot Actuator/Datadog Integration Agent

Why we did this

• Loads of informative metrics DataDog doesn't support natively .

• Provides a metrics platform where developers can add raw metrics from spring boot apps as well as create their own.

• Helps solve a big problem in RA which is query time and the ability to gauge it.

• Possibilities are endless as to which information you can pull out about the application.

What we did

• Backend API which intercepts requests and pulls data from spring boot actuator endpoints.

• Dispatches this through datadog-metrics reporter in key value pairs with optional tags.

• DataDog is updated in almost real time with the data.
