Connect Datadog to your AI agent
Datadog offers monitoring, observability, and security for cloud-scale applications, unifying metrics, logs, and traces to help teams detect issues and optimize performance
We set up the connection using your own Datadog account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.
