## Nginx Ingress Controller setup

This configuration and monitors only work for ingress controller version :
- \>= 0.10 because ingress is beta before that and metrics naming convention not stable
- <= 0.15 because ingress does not use VTS metrics since 0.16
Enable the following flags in the Nginx Ingress Controller chart
controller.stats.enabled=true,controller.metrics.enabled=true
and the following Datadog agent configuration for each ingress controller:
```
datadog:
  confd:
    prometheus.yaml: |-
      #nginx_upstream_responses_total{ingress_class,namespace,server,status_code:{1xx,2xx,3xx,4xx,5xx},upstream}
      #nginx_upstream_requests_total{ingress_class,namespace,server,upstream}
      init_config:
      instances:
        # The prometheus endpoint to query from
        - prometheus_url: http://nginx-ingress-controller-metrics:9913/metrics
          # This is NOT the ingress namespace, it is the prefix that will be used for the custom metrics
          namespace: nginx-ingress
          # Filter on the following metrics only
          metrics:
            - "nginx_upstream_requests_total"
            - "nginx_upstream_responses_total"
          # Adapt the tags to the current convention and verify that the monitor will match
          tags:
              - dd_monitoring:enabled
              - dd_ingress:enabled
              - dd_ingress_class:nginx
              - env:ENV
```
