Hi @ibadullaev-inc4, you can set datadog.ignoreAutoConfig in your values.yaml file to disable the docker check from autodiscovery: https://github.com/DataDog/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/datadog/values.yaml#L821-L826

datadog:
  ignoreAutoConfig:
    - docker

Hi @fanny-jiang , my helm chart version is 3.61.0. I am also getting this error.

Have set datadog.ignoreAutoConfig in the values.yaml file.

datadog:

Hello, following up here as I'm facing the similar issue. I would like to disable all default checks for Datadog agent. I've already tried to disable all default and autoconf checks:

datadog:
  ignoreAutoConfig:
      - container
      - containerd
      - cpu
      - cri
      - disk
      - file_handle
      - io
      - kubelet
      - kubernetes_state
      - load
      - memory
      - network
      - ntp
      - uptime

but only kubernetes_state was ignored as it is one of Autodiscovery integrations

Is it possible to disable default checks in Datadog agent?
