Use the bundled Helm values file:
helm install datadog-operator datadog/datadog-operator -f references/datadog-values-helm.yaml
See references/datadog-values-helm.yaml.example for a template with all configurable options.
kubectl apply -f references/datadog-agent-operator.yaml
# Check operator and agent pods
kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=datadog
# Check agent status
kubectl exec $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/component=agent -o name | head -1) \
-c agent -- agent status 2>/dev/null | head -50
In the Datadog UI: Infrastructure > Kubernetes — verify the EKS cluster appears.
Cause: Invalid API key or missing secret.
Fix: Verify the secret: kubectl get secret datadog-secret -o jsonpath='{.data.api-key}' | base64 -d
Cause: Agent cannot reach Datadog endpoints (egress blocked).
Fix: Ensure security groups allow outbound HTTPS (443) to *.datadoghq.com.
