Grafana Data Source Plugin for Datadog

It is an unofficial Datadog plugin utilising Datadog API for metrics queries. There is also official Datadog plugin available for Enterprise Grafana subscriptions. This is also the reason why this plugin probably won't be available on official Grafana plugins site... :/

  • Does not support logs nor traces, only metrics
  • Supports:
    • Explore
    • Dashboard variables
    • Most of visualisations, at least stock ones
    • Custom graph series names/labels (including variables)
  • Requirements:
    • Site name i.e. datadoghq.eu
    • API key
    • Application key
    • (Probably) paid Datadog subscription
