Setting up Datadog
From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.
This connector wraps the Datadog REST API v1/v2 (api.datadoghq.com).
Setup:
- In your Datadog org → Personal Settings → Organization Settings → API Keys → create or copy an API key. Set
DATADOG_API_KEY. - Organization Settings → Application Keys → create an application key with at least
monitors_read,logs_read_data,dashboards_read,events_readscopes. SetDATADOG_APP_KEY. - Site matters: Datadog has multiple regions: US1 (datadoghq.com — default), US3 (us3.datadoghq.com), US5 (us5.datadoghq.com), EU1 (datadoghq.eu), AP1 (ap1.datadoghq.com), US1-FED (ddog-gov.com). If your org is on a non-US1 site, change
baseUrlaccordingly. Wrong site = 403 withForbiddenand no useful body.
Authentication: Datadog requires BOTH headers on every request:
DD-API-KEY: ${DATADOG_API_KEY}— identifies the orgDD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DATADOG_APP_KEY}— identifies the user/permissions
Metrics query language: q uses the Datadog metric query syntax — avg:system.cpu.user{*} or sum:trace.web.request.hits{env:prod} by {service}. See https://docs.datadoghq.com/dashboards/functions/.
Time windows: from / to are UNIX epoch seconds (NOT milliseconds, NOT ISO strings). Default windows: last 1h for metrics, last 15min for logs.
Logs search: uses the same query syntax as the Logs Explorer UI — service:api status:error @http.status_code:>=500. Returns data[] with attributes.message, attributes.tags, etc.
Rate limits: most read endpoints are 300 req/h per org. Monitors API allows 100/min. 429 responses include X-RateLimit-Reset (epoch seconds).
Out of scope here: agent install / install-script generation, SLO CRUD beyond list, RUM/synthetics CRUD.
