What kind of file needs to be created to enable access to the Docker daemon for the agent?

To enable access to the Docker daemon for the Datadog agent, you need to create a specific configuration file that allows the agent to communicate with the Docker API. The correct file for this purpose is typically the one named docker_daemon.yaml. This file contains essential configurations that dictate how the Datadog agent should interact with the Docker daemon, including settings for connection, container monitoring, and various parameters that can be tuned for optimal performance.

Creating this file is crucial because the Datadog agent relies on the Docker API to gather metrics and events related to containerized applications. By configuring docker_daemon.yaml correctly, you ensure that the agent has the necessary permissions and parameters to monitor the containers effectively.

The other options listed do not correspond to the established naming and configuration conventions recognized by Datadog for enabling Docker access, making them unsuitable for this specific requirement.
