Datadog

This connector captures data from Datadog into Flow collections.

It is available for use in the Flow web application. For local development or open-source workflows, ghcr.io/estuary/source-datadog:dev provides the latest version of the connector as a Docker image. You can also follow the link in your browser to see past image versions.

Supported data resources

The following data resources are supported through the Datadog API:

• real_user_monitoring
• logs

By default, each resource is mapped to a Flow collection through a separate binding.

Prerequisites

• A Datadog account.
• A Datadog API key and Application key with rum_apps_read permission scope. See Datadog's documentation for instructions on generating these credentials.

Configuration

You configure connectors either in the Flow web app, or by directly editing the catalog specification files. See connectors to learn more about using connectors. The values and specification sample below provide configuration details specific to the Datadog source connector.
