Prerequisites​

Python 3+

Installation​

  1. Install dependencies:

    pip install ddtrace

  2. Initializes the Datadog tracer when your application starts:

    ddtrace-run uwsgi --http :8000 --module sample_app.wsgi:application --master -p 4 --enable-threads --need-app

  3. Modify the application run command as follows:

    # send traces to CubeAPM
    DD_TRACE_AGENT_URL=http://<ip_address_of_cubeapm_server>:3130 \
    DD_SERVICE=<app_name> \
    # optional settings
    DD_ENV=UNSET \
    DD_VERSION=1.2.3 \
    DD_TAGS=mykey1:myvalue1,mykey2:myvalue2 \
    ddtrace-run uwsgi --http :8000 --module sample_app.wsgi:application --master -p 4 --enable-threads --need-app
