Datadog

This is a setup guide for the Datadog source connector which collects data from its API.

Prerequisites

An API key is required as well as an API application key. See the Datadog API and Application Keys section for more information.

Setup guide

Step 1: Set up the Datadog connector in Airbyte

For Airbyte Cloud:

  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account.
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click +new source.
  3. On the Set up the source page, enter the name for the Datadog connector and select Datadog from the Source type dropdown.
  4. Proceed with remaining configuration below
  5. Click Set up source.

For Airbyte OSS:

  1. Navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
  2. Set the name for your source.
  3. Enter your api_key - Datadog API key.
  4. Click Set up source.

Configuration

  1. Configure access by selecting your site, and entering api_key, application_key. Here is also where you can configure the maximum number of records to consume in a single REST request.
  2. Configure incremental parameters, including the start_date and end_date. The start date represents the earliest time for which data will be collected, and end_date represents the latest. If the end_date is left blank, it will use now.
  3. Configure optional monitors parameters if you intend to consume that stream. All parameters have the same meaning as in the DataDog monitors endpoint.
  4. Configure optional logs parameters if you intend to consume that stream. All parameters have the same meaning as in the DataDog logs endpoint.
  5. Configure optional service level objectives parameters if you intend to consume that stream or if you intend to consume the service level objectives history stream. All parameters have the same meaning as in the DataDog service level objectives endpoint.
  6. Configure optional service level objectives_history parameters if you intend to consume that stream. The set of SLOs for which history is collected is determined by the service level objectives stream configuration. All parameters have the same meaning as in the DataDog service level objectives history endpoint.
