Agent Setup

The Datadog agent can be configured to forward data to Bronto in addition to Datadog.
~/.datadog-agent/datadog.yaml
logs_config:
  ...
  additional_endpoints:
  - api_key: "YOUR-API-KEY"
    host: "ingestion.<REGION>.bronto.io"
    port: 443
    is_reliable: true
By default, Bronto datasets and collections where data is sent are based respectively on the service and source tags reported by the datadog agent. These can be overwritten with the br_dataset and br_collection attributes if required.
