inventoryagent

Inventory Agent Payload

This package populates some of the agent-related fields in the inventories product in DataDog. More specifically the datadog-agent table.

This is enabled by default but can be turned off using inventories_enabled config.

The payload is sent every 10min (see inventories_max_interval in the config) or whenever it's updated with at most 1 update every minute (see inventories_min_interval).

Content

The Set method from the component allow the rest of the codebase to add any information to the payload.

Agent Configuration

The agent configurations are scrubbed from any sensitive information (same logic than for the flare). The Format section goes into more default about what configuration is sent.

Sending Agent configuration can be disabled using inventories_configuration_enabled.

Format

The payload is a JSON dict with the following fields

("scrubbed" indicates that secrets are removed from the field value just as they are in logs)
