How to Connect Datadog

4 min read Integrations

Already on Datadog? Connect it to Nova to pull your metrics, monitors, and APM traces into the same place as everything else. You keep Datadog and gain unified correlation, AI investigation, and auto-remediation on top.

Steps

1

Create Datadog keys

In Datadog, go to Organization Settings > API Keys and create an API key, then an Application key. Nova needs both.

2

Start the connection

In Nova, go to Settings > Integrations, find the Datadog tile, and click Connect.

3

Paste keys and pick your site

Enter the API key and application key, then choose your Datadog site (such as us1 or eu1) so Nova queries the right region.

4

Select what to import

Choose which metrics and monitors to pull in. Importing existing monitors means you do not rebuild alerting from scratch.

5

Validate

Click Validate. Within a few minutes your Datadog data appears in Nova dashboards and feeds the AI correlation engine.

Tip:

Importing your Datadog monitors lets Nova correlate those alerts with everything else and propose smarter detection rules after incidents.
