Datadog API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Datadog API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Datadog API, accessible through Pipedream, empowers you to programmatically interact with Datadog's monitoring and analytics platform. This enables developers to automate the retrieval of monitoring data, manage alert configurations, and synchronize service health information across systems. With Pipedream's serverless execution model, you can create intricate workflows that react to Datadog events or metrics, manipulate the data, and pass it on to other services or even Datadog itself for a cohesive operational ecosystem.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
datadog: {
type: "app",
app: "datadog",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/user`,
headers: {
"DD-API-KEY": `${this.datadog.$auth.api_key}`,
"DD-APPLICATION-KEY": `${this.datadog.$auth.application_key}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Incident Management Integration: Whenever Datadog detects an anomaly or a threshold breach, you can automate the creation of an incident ticket in a system like Jira or PagerDuty. This workflow ensures that your team promptly addresses service disruptions, and maintains a record of incidents for post-mortems.
Slack Alert Summarization: Configure a workflow that listens to Datadog alerts and processes them to extract key details. It can then send a well-formatted and concise summary directly to a designated Slack channel. This keeps your team informed without the noise of raw alerts, enabling quicker response times.
Automated Metric Reporting: Build a workflow that periodically fetches key performance metrics from Datadog and compiles them into a report. This report can be sent to Google Sheets, emailed to stakeholders, or even pushed back into Datadog as an event for record-keeping. It streamlines reporting tasks and ensures consistent visibility into system performance.

Authentication#
Datadog uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Datadog account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Datadog APIs in both code and no-code steps.
