• In Kubernetes/Helm manifests and issues, DD_AGENT_HOST, DD_DOGSTATSD_PORT, and other DD_* vars are present but often unset or removed by init containers, which effectively disables Datadog metrics/tracing for those pods.[Helm env vars; Init container unsetting DD vars]
From this, the only documented way to “disable” Datadog for Airbyte workloads is:
• Do not set PUBLISH_METRICS=true.
• Leave METRIC_CLIENT empty (or not set).
• Ensure DD_AGENT_HOST / DD_DOGSTATSD_PORT are not set (or are explicitly unset by your manifests/init containers).
If you are referring to an automatic sidecar/agent injection mechanism (e.g., via a Datadog admission controller), there is no mention of that in the Airbyte docs or issues provided, so I cannot confirm any Airbyte-specific setting to disable such injection. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
