Hi, 

Not all the fields are mandatory, only 'server','user' and 'pass'; 'tags' and 'options' are useful for datadog dashboards.

datadog_monitor 'mysql' do

  instances [

   {

     'server' => "localhost",

     'user' => "root",

     'pass' => "mysql",

     'sock' => "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"     

   }

 ]

end

However, this is not the best way to deal with chef node attributes. Check [1] for chef-client run phases and [2] for node attributes. Node attributes are computed at compile-time, using attribute files from recipes, roles, environment definitions, etc.

You should define your default datadog instances value in an attributes file of your cookbook that acts as a wrapper for the datadog cookbook.

Sample of content for keas-datadog/attributes/datadog.rb :

default['datadog']['mysql']['instances'] =    [{

     'server' => "localhost",

     'user' => "root",

     'pass' => "mysql",

     'sock' => "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"     

   }

]

And including datadog::mysql recipe will do the rest, as the node has the attribute datadog.mysql.instances

Sample of content for keas-datadog/recipes/mysql.rb :

include_recipe "datadog::mysql"

Hi Jose Luis Ferrer,

I have made some changes in the mysql.rb file by declaring username, password etc. I'm confused with tag field, Do i have to include node name in the tags or the Hostname? 

datadog_monitor 'mysql' do

  instances node['datadog']['mysql']['instances'] = [

   {

     'server' => "localhost",

     'user' => "root",

     'pass' => "mysql",

     'sock' => "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock",

     'tags' => [],

     'options' => [

       "replication: 0",

       "galera_cluster: 1"

     ]

   },

 ]

end

Hello,

It seems that your node['datadog']['mysql']['instances'] attribute is empty, you have to declare it somewhere (role, or your wrapper cookbook), see https://github.com/DataDog/chef-datadog/blob/master/recipes/mysql.rb#L5 for the connection parameters you have to include.

e.g. declaring the instance in your wrapper recipe :

```

node.default['datadog']['mysql']['instances']= [

 {

   ##your instances object here ##

 }

]

include_recipe "datadog::mysql"

```
