Caveats

You will need to update /opt/datadog-agent/etc/datadog.yaml and replace
APIKEY with your api key

If you ever want to start/stop the Agent, please use the Datadog Agent App
or datadog-agent command.
It will start automatically at login, if you want to enable it at startup,
run these commands:

  sudo cp '/opt/datadog-agent/etc/com.datadoghq.agent.plist.example'   /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.datadoghq.agent.plist

  sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.datadoghq.agent.plist

An open-source interface for Homebrew. Installs run through the macOS app or the brew command.
