This werk introduces a new special agent which enables the monitoring of Datadog monitors and Datadog events in Checkmk. To collects its data, the agent connects to the Datadog API.
Datadog monitors are monitored as services of the host on which the special agent is executed. One monitor corresponds to one service. Datadog events are forwarded to the local event console of the Checkmk site.
