GATE command

Evaluate Quality Gates rules in Datadog. The exit status of the command will change depending on the result of the gate evaluation.

Usage

Commands

evaluate

The evaluate command evaluates the matching Quality Gates rules in Datadog.

datadog-ci gate evaluate [--scope] [--tags] [--dry-run] [--fail-if-unavailable] [--fail-on-empty] [--no-wait]

For example:

datadog-ci gate evaluate --scope team:backend --scope team:frontend --fail-on-empty
  • --scope is an array of key value pairs of the form key:value. This parameter sets additional scope when retrieving matching rules. Only the rules matching the scope provided will be evaluated.
  • --tags is an array of key value pairs of the form key:value. This parameter sets global tags that are applied to all results. The upload process merges the tags passed on the command line with the tags in the DD_TAGS environment variable. If a key appears in both --tags and DD_TAGS, the value in DD_TAGS takes precedence.
  • --dry-run runs the command without the final evaluation step. All other checks are performed. The default value is false.
  • --fail-if-unavailable fails the command if Datadog is unavailable. The default value is false.
  • --fail-on-empty fails the command if no matching rules are found in Datadog. The default value is false.
  • --timeout is the command timeout in seconds. The default value is 600.
  • --no-wait removes the waiting time (30s) that is in place to ensure that events (for example: tests) can be properly queried by the rules. This mechanism prevents rules from being incorrectly evaluated due to the absence of events. Read more on the quality gates documentation before passing this flag. The default value is false.

Environment variables

Additionally, you can configure the gate command with the following environment variables:

  • DD_API_KEY (required): The API key used to authenticate the requests.
  • DD_APP_KEY (required): The application key used to authenticate the requests.
  • DD_TAGS: Sets global tags applied to all spans. The format must be key1:value1,key2:value2. The upload process merges the tags passed on the command line with the tags in the --tags parameter. If a key appears in both --tags and DD_TAGS, the value in DD_TAGS takes precedence.
  • DD_SITE: Your Datadog site, for example, datadoghq.com or datadoghq.eu.

Dependencies

  • git is used for extracting repository metadata.

End-to-end testing process

To verify the command works as expected, use --dry-run:

export DD_API_KEY='<API key>'
export DD_APP_KEY='<App key>'

yarn launch gate evaluate --scope team:backend --dry-run

Successful output looks like the example below:

ℹ️ Evaluating rules matching the following information:
Repository: [email protected]:DataDog/datadog-ci.git
Branch: master
team: backend

Dry run mode is enabled. Not evaluating the rules.
