Collect Gearman metrics to:

• Visualize Gearman performance.
• Know how many tasks are queued or running.
• Correlate Gearman performance with the rest of your applications.

Follow the instructions below to install and configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying these instructions.

The Gearman check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don't need to install anything else on your Gearman job servers.

1. Edit the gearmand.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting your Gearman performance data. See the sample gearmand.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

   init_config:
   
   instances:
       - server: localhost
         port: 4730

2. Restart the Agent

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for gearmand under the Checks section.

See metadata.csv for a list of metrics provided by this integration.

The Gearmand check does not include any events.

gearman.can_connect:

Returns Critical if the Agent cannot connect to Gearman to collect metrics.
