Overview #

Datadog Source Plugin

The CloudQuery Datadog plugin extracts your Datadog information and loads it into any supported CloudQuery destination (e.g. PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and more).

Authentication #

CloudQuery requires only DD_CLIENT_API_KEY and DD_CLIENT_APP_KEY. Follow this guide for how to create an API key and app key for CloudQuery.

CloudQuery requires only read permissions (we will never make any changes to your Datadog account), so, following the principle of the least privilege, it's recommended to grant it read-only permissions.

Query Examples #

Find all not verified users #

SELECT 
    "attributes" ->> 'name' AS username
FROM
    datadog_users
WHERE
    ("attributes" ->> 'verified')::boolean is distinct FROM TRUE

Datadog Spec #

This is the (nested) spec used by the Datadog source plugin.

accounts ([]account, required)
Specify which accounts to sync data from.
site (string, optional, default: "")
The Datadog site to connect to. This is usually one of datadoghq.com or datadoghq.eu - see site documentation for more information.
concurrency (integer, optional, default: 10000)
A best effort maximum number of Go routines to use. Lower this number to reduce memory usage.
scheduler (string, optional, default: dfs)
The scheduler to use when determining the priority of resources to sync. Supported values are dfs (depth-first search), round-robin, shuffle and shuffle-queue.
For more information about this, see performance tuning.

account #

This is used to specify one or more accounts to extract information from. Note that it should be an array of objects, each with the following fields:

name (string, required)
Account name.
api_key (string, required if not using access_token)
Datadog API key.
app_key (string, required if not using access_token)
Datadog App key.
access_token (string)
A valid OAuth access token to use, instead of api_key and app_key.
