Datadog Apache HTTPD Module

codecov

This module adds distributed tracing to Apache HTTP Server. Leveraging Datadog's tracing library, it provides access to Datadog-specific functionality.

Getting started

Important

Only Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x is supported.

For a detail understanding of our release cycle and Apache HTTPD support, read our Release documentation.

Installation

Download a gzipped tarball compatible with your version of Apache HTTPD, extract it to wherever httpd looks for modules and add the following line to the top of your configuration file:

LoadModule datadog_module <MODULE_PATH>/mod_datadog.so

Then run httpd -t <CONFIG_FILE> to test the new configuration.

Configuration

Once the module is loaded, by default all requests are traced and sent to the Datadog Agent. To change the module default behaviour, check our Configuration page.
