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.

  1. Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Datadog
  2. Click Add Connection
  3. 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
  4. 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)
  5. Click Test Connection to verify
  6. 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.

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

IssueSolution
Authentication failedVerify API and Application keys have correct permissions
No metrics appearingCheck that the selected metrics exist and have recent data in Datadog
Rate limitingAtlasAI respects Datadog API rate limits — reduce metric count or increase sync interval
Duplicate dataIf you have both Datadog agents and AtlasAI Edge Agents on the same host, configure metric deduplication under Settings → Integrations → Deduplication
