Symfony Datadog integration to monitor and track for application errors and send notifications about them.

Benefits

Use datadog-symfony for:

• Monitor production applications in realtime.
• Application performance insights to see when performance is geting degradated.
• Access to the okvpn_datadog.client through the container.
• Send notification about errors in Slack, email, telegram, etc.
• Create JIRA issue when some alarm/exception triggers using this plugin

Install

Install using composer following the official Composer documentation:

1. Install via composer:

composer require okvpn/datadog-symfony

1. And add this bundle to your AppKernel:

For Symfony 4+ add bundle to config/bundles.php

<?php
return [
    ... //  bundles
    Okvpn\Bundle\DatadogBundle\OkvpnDatadogBundle::class => ['all' => true], 
    ...
]

1. Base configuration to enable the datadog client in your config.yml

okvpn_datadog:
    clients:
        default: 'datadog://127.0.0.1/namespace'
        
        ## More clients
        i2pd_client: 'datadog://10.10.1.1:8125/app?tags=tg1,tg2'
        'null': null://null
        mock: mock://mock
        dns: '%env(DD_CLIENT)%'

Where env var looks like:

DD_CLIENT=datadog://127.0.0.1:8125/app1?tags=tg1,tg2

Access to client via DIC:

$client = $this->container->get('okvpn_datadog.client'); // Default public alias 

// okvpn_datadog.client.default - private services
// okvpn_datadog.client.i2pd_client
// okvpn_datadog.client.null

class FeedController 
{
    public function __construct(private DogStatsInterface $dogStats){} // default 
}

class FeedController 
{
    public function __construct(private DogStatsInterface $i2pdClient){} // i2pd_client
}

class FeedController extends Controller
{
    // Inject via arg for Symfony 4+
    #[Route(path: '/', name: 'feeds')]
    public function feedsAction(DogStatsInterface $dogStats, DogStatsInterface $i2pdClient): Response
    {
        $dogStats->decrement('feed');
        
        return $this->render('feed/feeds.html.twig');
    }
}

Custom metrics that provided by OkvpnDatadogBundle

Where app metrics namespace.

Configuration

A more complex setup look like this config/packages/ddog.yml:

okvpn_datadog:
    profiling: true       # Default false: enable exception, http request etc.
    namespace: app        # Metric namespace
    port: 8125            # datadog udp port
    host: 127.0.0.1
    tags:                 # Default tags which sent with every request
        - example.com
        - cz1
    doctrine: true        # Enable timing for sql query
    exception: all        # Send event on exception
                          #   *all*      - handle all exceptions: logger error context, console error, http error.
                          #   *uncaught* - handle uncaught exceptions: console error, http error.
                          #   *none*     - disable exceptions handler
                          
    dedup_path: null      # Path to save duplicates log records across multiple requests. 
                          # Used to prevent send multiple event on the same error
    
    dedup_keep_time: 86400 # Time in seconds during which duplicate entries should be suppressed after a given log is sent through
    artifacts_path: null   # Long events is aggregate as artifacts, because datadog event size is limited to 4000 characters.
    
    handle_exceptions:     # Skip exceptions
        skip_instanceof:
            - Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\ExceptionInterface
            - Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpExceptionInterface
        skip_command:     # Skip exception for console command
            - okvpn:message-queue:consume

Usage

class FeedController extends Controller
{
    // Inject via arg for Symfony 4+
    #[Route(path: '/', name: 'feeds')]
    public function feedsAction(DogStatsInterface $dogStats): Response
    {
        $dogStats->decrement('feed');
        
        return $this->render('feed/feeds.html.twig');
    }
}

// or use service directly for 3.4
$client = $this->container->get('okvpn_datadog.client');

/*

$client->increment('page.views', 1);
$client->increment('page.load', 1, 0.5, ['tag1' => 'http']);

Sets

$consumerPid = getmypid();
$client->set('consumers', $consumerPid);

Timing

$client->timing('http.response_time', 256);

Impact on performance

Datadog bundle use UDP protocol to send custom metrics to DogStatsD collector, that usually running on localhost (127.0.0.1). Because it uses UDP, your application can send metrics without waiting for a response. DogStatsD aggregates multiple data points for each unique metric into a single data point over a period of time called the flush interval and sends it to Datadog where it is stored and available for graphing alongside the rest of your metrics.
