The Datadog Agent faithfully collects events and metrics and brings them to Datadog on your behalf so that you can do something useful with your monitoring and performance data.
You're looking at the source code right now. We provide a number of pre-packaged binaries for your convenience.
Note: this repository does not contain the sources of the Trace Agent that collects traces for the APM feature. If you choose the installation from source or the Windows and Mac OS X builds you will need to install the Trace Agent separately. See dd-trace-agent for instructions.

How to configure the Agent
If you are using packages on linux, the main configuration file lives
in /etc/dd-agent/datadog.conf. Per-check configuration files are in
/etc/dd-agent/conf.d. We provide an example in the same directory
that you can use as a template.
How to write your own checks
Writing your own checks is easy using our checks.d interface. Read more about how to use it on our Guide to Agent Checks.
