Datadog Integration

Connect Datadog so Annie can query your logs, metrics, traces, monitors, and dashboards during investigations.

Setup Guide

  1. Go to the Anyshift integrations page
  2. Navigate to the Monitoring section
  3. Create Datadog API credentials to connect your Datadog account
⚠️ For now, Anyshift support only one set of credentials per Anyshift account. Ping us if it is a blocker for you, we will prioritize it.

1. Datadog Site URL

Usually datadoghq.com but it can vary based on your region (e.g., datadoghq.eu for Europe).

2. Datadog API key

Create an API key in your Datadog account settings. This key will be used to authenticate requests from Annie to Datadog.

3. Datadog Application Key

Create an application key in your Datadog account settings. This key is used to authorize API requests and should be kept secure.

4. Required Permissions

Your Datadog Application Key needs specific scopes to work with Anyshift: Minimum Required:
  • read_hosts - Required for basic connectivity check
For Full Functionality:
  • monitors_read - Access monitor definitions and status
  • logs_read - Query and retrieve log data
  • dashboards_read - List and view dashboards
  • metrics_read - Query metrics data
  • incidents_read - View incident information
  • apm_read - Access APM traces and service data
  • timeseries_query - Query time series metrics

How It Works

Annie queries Datadog through the connected credentials, then correlates the results with resources and recorded changes in the Production Graph. The available signals depend on your Datadog data and application-key permissions.
