Datadog Integration
The Datadog integration imports metrics, logs, and monitors from your Datadog account into AtlasAI. This enables you to unify Datadog telemetry with other data sources for cross-platform correlation and AI-powered root cause analysis.
Prerequisites
- A Datadog account with API and Application keys
- API key with read permissions for metrics, logs, and monitors
Setup
Step 1: Generate API credentials in Datadog.
Navigate to Datadog → Organization Settings → API Keys and create a new API key. Then go to Application Keys and create an application key.
Step 2: Configure the integration in AtlasAI.
- Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Datadog
- Click Add Connection
- Enter your credentials:
- Datadog Site: Select your region (e.g.,
datadoghq.com,datadoghq.eu) - API Key: Your Datadog API key
- Application Key: Your Datadog application key
- Datadog Site: Select your region (e.g.,
- Select the data to import:
- Metrics: Choose specific metrics or use tag filters
- Monitors: Import active monitors as AtlasAI alert rules
- Logs: Forward log data (requires Datadog log forwarding configuration)
- Click Test Connection to verify
- Click Save & Enable
Step 3: Verify data is flowing.
Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Datadog and check the connection status. Metrics should begin appearing within 2 minutes.
Data Mapping
| Datadog Concept | AtlasAI Equivalent |
|---|---|
| Metric | Metric (same name, preserved tags) |
| Monitor | Alert Rule |
| Monitor Alert | Alert |
| Log | Log entry |
| Service | Service (auto-mapped to CMDB) |
| Host | Host (auto-mapped to CMDB) |
Imported Monitors
When you import Datadog monitors, AtlasAI creates corresponding alert rules that:
- Preserve the original monitor query
- Map Datadog severity levels to AtlasAI severity (P1–P5)
- Trigger alerts that participate in AtlasAI correlation and incident creation
- Link back to the original Datadog monitor for reference
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Authentication failed | Verify API and Application keys have correct permissions |
| No metrics appearing | Check that the selected metrics exist and have recent data in Datadog |
| Rate limiting | AtlasAI respects Datadog API rate limits — reduce metric count or increase sync interval |
| Duplicate data | If you have both Datadog agents and AtlasAI Edge Agents on the same host, configure metric deduplication under Settings → Integrations → Deduplication |
