datadog-agent won't install on AWS's Amazon Linux

[alq666]

supervisor is needed but won't install. Even rebuilding from rawhide and installing fails because of systemd-units dependency of python-meld3.

[alq666]

A temporary workaround: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/massat/20111013/1318484253

[alq666]

sudo easy_install supervisor
curl -L http://dtdg.co/supervisor-initd-aws > supervisor
sudo cp supervisor /etc/init.d/supervisord
sudo chkconfig --add supervisord
sudo chkconfig --level 345 supervisord on
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/supervisord 
curl -L http://dtdg.co/Mm99NP > supervisord.conf
sudo mkdir -p /etc/supervisord/conf
sudo cp supervisord.conf /etc
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/supervisor
sudo /etc/init.d/supervisord start
curl http://yum.datadoghq.com/rpm/datadog-agent-3.0.2-7.noarch.rpm > datadog-agent-3.0.2-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install python-tornado
sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps datadog-agent-3.0.2-7.noarch.rpm 
sudo sh -c "sed 's/api_key:.*/api_key: apikey_2/' /etc/dd-agent/datadog.conf.example > /etc/dd-agent/datadog.conf"
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent restart

The fix is to package supervisord + meld3 ourselves.

[alq666]

Actually, we can use supervisor-2 from epel but just repackage meld3.

@don-neufeld AWS linux is now supported via packages. Let me know how it's working for you.

[alq666]

On machines where this workaround had been done:

sudo yum install datadog-agent
# Re-install supervisord.conf
curl -L http://dtdg.co/Mm99NP > supervisord.conf
sudo cp supervisord.conf /etc/
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent restart
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent status
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent stop
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent restart

Then rpm -qa | grep datadog should give you

datadog-agent-lib-3.0.3-3.noarch
datadog-agent-base-3.0.3-3.noarch
datadog-agent-3.0.3-3.noarch
