Datadog integration
📚 Learn more about Datadog action features, integrations and alternatives.
Using Datadog integration will allow you to send deployment details and compare the results with Datadog metrics in order to narrow down the sources of performance issues your deployment might encounter.
Pipeline example
Setting up Datadog stream integration
- To begin using Datadog you first need API Key token from the monitoring service. You can find it in Integrations -> APIs section of your Datadog account
- Go to the pipeline you wish to monitor and find the Datadog action in the Performance & App Monitoring section:
APP monitoring actions
- Enter the name of your integration and paste the API Key token.
- Configure your action. Enter the Event title and Content fields (you can use environment variables)
Configuring Datadog
Setting up Datadog Service Check integration
Select Datadog Service Check action from Performance & App Monitoring section:
Datadog Service Check action
This action allows you to send the name of the pipeline to the selected Datadog account:
Datadog Service Check configuration
Since the forwarded status is fixed and cannot be changed, make sure to add the action at the multiple stages of the pipeline:
- Status:
OK
– at the very end of the pipeline (sent only if all actions have finished successfully) - Status:
WARNING
– in the On failure section (sent only if something went wrong)
