# Triagic + Datadog: ticket investigations over your logs, errors and metrics, read-only

> Datadog in Triagic: Read monitors, logs, metrics, and incidents. Read-only, with a credential you configure.

Source: https://triagic.com/integrations/datadog

## What you can ask

- Check Datadog for errors from the checkout service in the last hour and group them by message
- In Datadog, did latency for the import worker change after the 16:02 deploy?
- Find every Datadog event that mentions request id 7f3a-…-c2 and put them in order
- Is the alert in Datadog for the export queue still firing, and since when?
- What did Datadog record for the pod that restarted at 11:31?

## What the agent can do

- `logs`
- `metrics`

## Connect in three steps

1. **Mint a read-only credential in Datadog.** Create a dedicated user or token that can only read. Started with --read-only, which rejects every create, update, delete, mute, cancel and trigger action, plus an allowlist of the read tools.
2. **Add it in the Triagic portal.** Integrations, then Add shared data source, then Datadog. Fill in: API key (required): Datadog → Organization Settings → API Keys.; Application key (required): Organization Settings → Application Keys. Must belong to the same organization as the API key.
3. **Let a desktop pick it up.** Saving validates the shape of what you typed. The first desktop app to sync starts Datadog locally and reports running or degraded with the error text.

## Read-only, by construction

Started with --read-only, which rejects every create, update, delete, mute, cancel and trigger action, plus an allowlist of the read tools.

## FAQ

**Can Triagic change anything in Datadog?**
No. Started with --read-only, which rejects every create, update, delete, mute, cancel and trigger action, plus an allowlist of the read tools. Give it a read-only credential as well, so the guarantee does not rest on one layer.

**What do I need to connect Datadog?**
API key, Application key. The desktop app on a member's machine starts the connection; the portal never holds a live process.

**Does Datadog cost extra?**
No. Every connector is included in the seat price. Start a 14-day trial without a card.
