Datadog API
Observability · Unknown · 30d uptime 100%
Datadog's REST APIs provide programmatic access to observability and security resources including metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, monitors, incidents, service-level objectives, integrations, users, and cloud resources. Requests use API keys and, for many endpoints, application keys. Official clients cover major server languages.
