Datadog statsd for Airflow

[marekargalas]

Hey!

Currently I'm using epoch8/airflow-exporter for exporting metrics to Prometheus. I would like to switch it to Datadog and noticed that there is integration for that.. Any experience how to roll it out?

From first look it seems feasible:

• there is pip install 'apache-airflow[statsd]' - could that be injected to extraPipPackages?
• need set a few variables in config (eg stats_on) - could that be part of this helm chart values.yaml as well?
• not sure what to do with datadog.yaml file (I already got Datadog agents running) but they are out of my impact

Any experience or advice is welcome! Definitely I will test on staging one, but just want to double check if that's feasible at all. Thanks!

@marekargalas I am interested if you have solved this problem.

If you have, could you share what you did, and possibly help us add a new FAQ page about using DataDog?
