Monitoring Cassandra with Datadog

This article provides a step-by-step guide to setting up Cassandra monitoring in Datadog. It begins with installing the Datadog Agent and creating a configuration file for Cassandra. The Agent is then restarted, and verification of the configuration settings is performed using the Datadog info command. Finally, the Cassandra integration is installed within the Datadog account. Once properly configured, users can monitor dozens of Cassandra metrics in real-time, create comprehensive dashboards, and set up alerts for potential issues.
