Issue
- Is it possible to implement the Datadog monitoring in the Liferay PaaS Production environment?
Environment
- Liferay PaaS
Resolution
- Yes, it is possible to implement the Datadog in the Liferay PaaS, but we have Dynatrace monitoring directly from our platform, there are some cases of customers using other monitoring tools such as New Relic or App Dynamics. It is worth noting that the Datadog it is a third-party monitoring tool and any additional doubt regarding the configuration of this product must be addressed directly with the Datadog Support.
- To configure Datadog on Liferay PaaS, we have the following suggestion below:
- In the liferay repository folder structure, locate /scripts. Here you need to add a script that downloads the Datadog agent JAR to the docker image.
- After downloading, you can reference the agent in the JVM parameters
- To configure the JVM parameters in Liferay PaaS you must use the LIFERAY_JVM_OPTS environment variables and add the parameter it requires.
