Datadog visualization made easy | Grafana Labs

Datadog visualizations

The Datadog data source plugin is the easiest way to visualize Datadog data alongside Prometheus metrics as well as telemetry from other observability tools in a single dashboard.

One dashboard for all your data

Connect your Datadog metrics with other data sources to create application performance and error trends side by side. Get a real-time view into where in the user journey an application slows down by bringing together infrastructure monitoring data from Datadog with real user monitoring data from another observability tool, such as New Relic or AppDynamics.

Visualize Datadog data without moving or duplicating it

Translate and transform your existing application and business metrics into versatile visualizations within Grafana dashboards using a wide range of panels, such as time series graphs, gauges, geomaps, and more. Also query and alert on the data in real time without having to migrate or ingest it.

Correlate Datadog data with a wide range of data sources

With Grafana Cloud, get instant access to 100+ data sources, including Elasticsearch, Jira, Splunk, AppDynamics, Oracle, Databricks, ServiceNow, and more. Then, for example, troubleshooting will be easier because you can correlate infrastructure health metrics from Datadog, logs from Splunk, application performance data from Dynatrace, and even incident tickets from ServiceNow.

How to install and set up the Datadog data source plugin in Grafana Cloud

It only takes a few clicks to connect your Datadog instance with API and application authentication keys. Then you can use the prebuilt Grafana dashboards or write Datadog queries to create your own dashboard.
