This integration \nenables Redis Software users to export metrics directly to Datadog for analysis, and includes Redis-designed \ndashboards for use in monitoring Redis Software clusters.\n\nThis integration makes it possible to:\n- Collect and display metrics not available in the admin console\n- Set up automatic alerts for node or cluster events\n- Display these metrics alongside data from other systems\n\n![](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rc/redis-cloud-datadog.png)"

Firstly, the installation must be part of your configuration. \nSelect 'Integrations' from the menu  in the Datadog portal and then enter 'Redis' in the search bar, then select \n'Redis Software by Redis, Inc.'. Next click 'Install Integration' in the top-right corner of the overview page. \nOnce it has been installed follow the instructions for adding an instance to the conf.yaml in \n/etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/redis_cloud.d.\n\nAfter you have edited the conf.yaml file please restart the service and check its status:\n\n[code example]\n\nfollowed by:\n\n[code example]\n\nto be certain that the service itself is running and did not encounter any problems. Next, check the output of the \nservice; in the terminal on the Datadog agent host run the following command:\n\n[code example]\n\nIt will take several minutes for data to reach Datadog. Finally, check the Datadog console by selecting \nInfrastructure -> Host Map from the menu and then finding the host that is monitoring the Redis Software instance. The host \nshould be present, and in its list of components there should be a section called 'rdse', which is the namespace used by \nthe Redis Software integration, although this can take several minutes to appear. It is also possible to verify the metrics \nby choosing Metrics -> Explorer from the menu and entering 'rdse.bdb_up'."
