Datadog
Connect your Datadog account to give RunLLM's SRE agent real-time access to your observability data. During incident investigations, the agent can search logs, query timeseries metrics, and explore metric metadata — all directly from your Datadog environment — without you having to copy-paste data manually.
The agent can:
- Search and filter logs using Datadog query syntax
- Estimate log volumes before fetching full results
- Aggregate logs by facets (service, host, status, etc.)
- Query timeseries metrics and explore metric tags
- Inspect log indexes and processing pipelines to scope queries accurately
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Base URL | Your Datadog API base URL. Must match your site region — using the wrong region will result in authentication errors. See the tip below for the correct URL. |
| API Key | A Datadog API key with read access. Create one under Organization Settings > API Keys in your Datadog dashboard. |
| Application Key | A Datadog application key with read access. Create one under Organization Settings > Application Keys. Inherits the permissions of the user who created it — use a service account with read-only access when possible. |
Optional parameters
- Rules / Instructions: Free-form instructions that guide the agent on how to use this integration (e.g.,
"Only query the production log index"or"Focus on the payments-service when diagnosing errors").
Your Base URL depends on which Datadog site your organization uses. To check: log into Datadog, look at your browser's URL bar, and match it to the table below.
| Datadog Site | Base URL |
|---|---|
| US1 (default) | https://api.datadoghq.com |
| US3 | https://api.us3.datadoghq.com |
| US5 | https://api.us5.datadoghq.com |
| EU1 | https://api.datadoghq.eu |
| AP1 | https://api.ap1.datadoghq.com |
| US1-FED | https://api.ddog-gov.com |
When in doubt, open your Datadog dashboard and check Organization Settings > API Keys — the page URL will show your site (e.g., app.us5.datadoghq.com).
The Application Key inherits the permissions of the user who created it. For security, we recommend creating a dedicated Datadog service account with read-only permissions and generating the Application Key from that account. This limits the agent's access to only what it needs for log and metric queries.
