New Monitor Event (Instant) on Datadog

Datadog 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.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Datadog	`datadog`	`app`	This component uses the Datadog app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "US1 - East", "value": "datadoghq.com" }{ "label": "US3 - West", "value": "us3.datadoghq.com" }{ "label": "US5 - Central", "value": "us5.datadoghq.com" }{ "label": "EU1 - Europe", "value": "datadoghq.eu" }{ "label": "US1-FED (FedRamp)", "value": "ddog-gov.com" }`
Monitors	`monitors`	`integer[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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.

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");
