Cluster Checks

Cluster Checks are configurations that allow us to setup external URLs to be monitored. They can be configured through the datadog agent or annotations on kubernetes services.

Cluster Checks are similar to synthetics checks, they are not as indepth, but significantly cheaper. Use Cluster Checks when you need a simple health check beyond the kubernetes pod health check.

Public addresses that test endpoints must use the agent configuration, whereas service addresses internal to the cluster can be tested by annotations.

Adding Cluster Checks

Cluster Checks can be enabled or disabled via the cluster_checks_enabled variable. We recommend this be set to true.

New Cluster Checks can be added to defaults to be applied in every account. Alternatively they can be placed in an individual stage folder which will be applied to individual stages. This is controlled by the datadog_cluster_check_config_parameters variable, which determines the paths of yaml files to look for cluster checks per stage.

Once they are added, and properly configured, the new checks show up in the network monitor creation under ssl and Http

Please note: the yaml file name doesn't matter, but the root key inside which is something.yaml does matter. this is following datadogs docs for <integration name>.yaml.

Sample Yaml

[!WARNING]

The key of a filename must match datadog docs, which is <INTEGRATION_NAME>.yaml > Datadog Cluster Checks

Cluster Checks can be used for external URL testing (loadbalancer endpoints), whereas annotations must be used for kubernetes services.

http_check.yaml:
  cluster_check: true
  init_config:
  instances:
    - name: "[${stage}] Echo Server"
      url: "https://echo.${stage}.uw2.acme.com"
    - name: "[${stage}] Portal"
      url: "https://portal.${stage}.uw2.acme.com"
    - name: "[${stage}] ArgoCD"
      url: "https://argocd.${stage}.uw2.acme.com"

Monitoring Cluster Checks

Using Cloudposse's datadog-monitor component. The following yaml snippet will monitor all HTTP Cluster Checks, this can be added to each stage (usually via a defaults folder).

https-checks:
  name: "(Network Check) ${stage} - HTTPS Check"
  type: service check
  query: |
    "http.can_connect".over("stage:${stage}").by("instance").last(2).count_by_status()
