Getting Started

This integration creates a workflow with a Datadog trigger and Node action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

  1. Select this integration
  2. Configure the New Monitor Event (Instant) trigger
    1. Connect your Datadog account
    2. Select one or more Monitors
  3. Configure the Run Node Code action
    1. Connect your Node account
  4. Deploy the workflow
  5. Send a test event to validate your setup
  6. Turn on the trigger

Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Datadog Overview

With the Datadog API, you can build a variety of applications and tools to help
you monitor and optimize your Datadog account. Here are a few examples:

  • A tool to help you visualize your Datadog account data
  • A tool to help you manage your Datadog account settings
  • A tool to help you monitor and troubleshoot your Datadog account
  • A tool to help you migrate your data to Datadog

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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
DatadogdatadogappThis component uses the Datadog app.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
N/Ahttp$.interface.httpThis 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.

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.
