Datadog ACTION

Get Metric Data

Query time-series metric data for analyzing trends and system performance. Query syntax: avg:system.cpu.user{*}, sum:requests.count{env:prod} by {host}, max:system.mem.used{service:web}. Both from and to are POSIX timestamps in seconds. Use Search Metrics first to discover available metric names. Use Search Hosts to find valid host tags for scoping. After finding anomalies, use Search Logs to investigate related entries. See the docs

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Datadog account once, then configure and run Get Metric Data from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "datadog-get-metric-data",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    datadog: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    region: "Region",
    query: "Query",
  },
})

console.log(result)
