Datadog

Datadog is a monitoring and analytics platform for infrastructure, applications, logs, and APM. Most operations are account-scoped.

Data Model

• Audit Logs (compliance, user activity), Dashboards (saved visualizations), Downtimes (maintenance windows), Incident Teams (on-call groups), Incidents (active/postmortem), Logs (search by query, time range), Metrics (metric names only), Monitors (alert rules), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Synthetic Tests (API/browser checks), Users (account members).

Gotchas

• Logs pagination: Uses page_cursor for next page; pass cursor from previous response.
• Metrics list vs query: Metrics list returns names only; actual querying uses separate Metrics API.
