Datadog Endpoint

Datadog endpoints connect Gateway to Datadog metrics, logs, events, monitors, and dashboards for governed observability access.

Endpoint Kind

Use datadog as the endpoint kind when creating this endpoint through the API or dashboard.

What Gateway Uses This Endpoint For

Let AI Orchestration and tools investigate operational telemetry through Datadog.
Query metrics, logs, monitors, and dashboards under RBAC.
Use observability context in incident and migration workflows.
Keep Datadog API credentials out of local scripts and agents.

Basic Endpoint Shape

json

{
  "endpoint": "datadog-prod",
  "kind": "datadog",
  "config": {
    "read_conn": {
      "site": "datadoghq.com",
      "api_key": "secret",
      "application_key": "secret"
    }
  }
}

Create it with the endpoint API:

bash

curl -sS -X POST "$EDEN/endpoints" \
  -H "$AUTH_HEADER" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "endpoint": "datadog-prod",
  "kind": "datadog",
  "config": {
    "read_conn": {
      "site": "datadoghq.com",
      "api_key": "secret",
      "application_key": "secret"
    }
  }
}'

Configuration Fields

Field	Purpose
`site`	Datadog site, such as datadoghq.com or datadoghq.eu
`api_key`	Datadog API key
`application_key`	Application key for endpoints that require it

Operating Notes

Use least-privilege Datadog app keys where possible.
Separate production observability access from sandbox or validation access.
Audit which users and agents can query logs because logs may contain sensitive data.
