Important note
This repository contains the source code for the Datadog Agent up to and including major version 5. Although still supported, no major feature is planned for this release line and we encourage users and contributors to refer to the new Agent codebase, introduced with the release of version 6.0.0 and tracked in a different git repository.
Changes
Please refer to the Change log for more details about the changes introduced at each release.

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.
