Datadog Monitors
About the integration
Datadog is a monitoring service that helps DevOps teams discover, triage, and prioritize their observability data in real-time. Before you start, you should already have a Datadog account and your environment setup and running. If not, head over to Datadog to get things started. Once you're done, return to Sleuth to complete the setup of the integration.
Setting up the integration
To add the Sleuth Datadog integration:
Click Integrations in the sidebar.
Click the Incidents tab, then enable in the Datadog card.
If your Datadog servers' are in the EU, enable the My Datadog servers are in the EU checkbox. Leave this unchecked if you are unsure.
Press Save.


Once the Datadog integration is successful, you will see Datadog enabled displayed in the integration card (as shown below).

Configuring the integration
Click Add monitors and configure which Datadog monitors that Sleuth will track.
Configure impact source by choosing the severity threshold of monitors to track with Sleuth. Incidents with matching or lower severities will be considered a failure in Sleuth. It is also recommended to enter a monitor query to scope the monitors Sleuth tracks.
That's it! Sleuth will now start tracking triggered monitors declared in Datadog.
