If you are using packages on linux, the main configuration file lives in /etc/dd-agent/datadog.conf. Per-check configuration files are in /etc/dd-agent/conf.d. We provide an example in the same directory that you can use as a template.

Writing your own checks is easy using our checks.d interface. Read more about how to use it on our Guide to Agent Checks.
