Prerequisites

In order to use the connector it is necessary to communicate with the Datadog API. All requests need to be authenticated. Requests that read data require full access which means that they require an API key and an application key. The API and application keys of a Datadog account can be managed here. The following parameters are required in order to access the Datadog API:

•Datadog API key

•Application key

•Server URL

 

API keys are unique to an organization.

 

Application keys, in conjunction with the API key of the organization give users access to Datadog's programmatic API. Application keys are associated with the user account that created them and by default have the permissions and scopes of the user who created them.
