Metrics, events, monitors and logs. Infrastructure health — nothing a marketing page claims.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find DataDog and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against DataDog before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

| - | - |
| API Key | Your DataDog API Key |
| Application Key | Your DataDog Application Key |

### Getting the credential

1. Log in to [DataDog](https://app.datadoghq.com)
2. Go to **Organization Settings** → **API Keys**
3. Create or copy an existing **API Key**
