# Istio check

## Overview

Use the Datadog Agent to monitor how well Istio is performing.

* Collect metrics on what apps are making what kinds of requests
* Look at how applications are using bandwidth
* Understand istio's resource consumption

## Setup
### Installation

Istio is included in the Datadog Agent. So, just [install the Agent][1] on your istio servers or in your cluster and point it at Istio.

### Configuration

#### Preparing Istio

Istio needs to have the built in [prometheus adapter][2] enabled and the ports exposed to the agent.

#### Connect the Agent

Create a basic `istio.yaml` in the Agent's `conf.d` directory to connect it to istio. See the [sample istio.yaml][3] for all available configuration options:

```
init_config:

instances:
  - istio_mesh_endpoint: http://localhost:42422/metrics
    mixer_endpoint: http://localhost:9093/metrics
    send_histograms_buckets: true
```

Both endpoints need to be connected to the check for it to work. To learn more about the prometheus adapter, you can read the [istio documentation](https://istio.io/docs/tasks/telemetry/querying-metrics.html#about-the-prometheus-add-on).

### Validation

[Run the Agent's `info` subcommand][4] and look for `istio` under the Checks section.

## Data Collected
