Datadog

Connect Datadog to the Pagerly SRE Agent to query logs, metrics, APM traces, and monitors.

What the Agent Can Do

• Query logs by service, status, and time range

• Query metrics and create metric comparisons

• Search APM traces for latency and errors

• Check monitor status and alert history

• View dashboards and SLOs

Setup Instructions

1. Log into your Datadog account

2. Go to Organization Settings > API Keys

3. Click + New Key, name it Pagerly, and copy the key

4. Go to Application Keys tab, click + New Key

5. Important: Restrict the Application Key to these scopes only:

   • logs_read_data — Read log data

   • logs_read_index_data — Read log indexes

   • timeseries_query — Query metrics

   • metrics_read — View metrics

   • monitors_read — View monitors

   • dashboard_read — View dashboards

6. For full discovery, also add:

   • infrastructure_host_read — View infrastructure hosts

   • service_catalog_read — View Service Catalog

   • slos_read — View SLOs

7. Copy the Application Key

8. Paste your keys and Datadog URL below

Required Credentials

Field	Description	Example
API Key	Datadog API key	your-api-key
Application Key	Datadog Application key with read scopes	your-app-key
Datadog URL	Your Datadog site URL	https://us5.datadoghq.com

Both keys are required. The API Key authenticates requests, and the Application Key controls what data can be accessed. Always use scoped Application Keys with minimal permissions.
