Set these per environment. See Connect an integration.

​

Setup

1. Find your Datadog site: Check the URL you use to access Datadog (e.g. app.datadoghq.com → site datadoghq.com, app.datadoghq.eu → datadoghq.eu). Tools take a ‘site’ parameter that defaults to datadoghq.com.
2. Create an API key: In Organization Settings → API Keys (https://app.datadoghq.com/organization-settings/api-keys), create a key and add it to your .env as DD_API_KEY.
3. Create an application key: In Organization Settings → Application Keys, create a key and add it as DD_APP_KEY. Application keys inherit the permissions of the user who created them; read access to monitors, dashboards, metrics, and logs is required.
4. Verify access: Run the Validate API Key tool, then List Monitors.

• Datadog authenticates with two headers: DD-API-KEY and DD-APPLICATION-KEY - both env vars are required
• If your org is not on datadoghq.com, pass your site (e.g. datadoghq.eu) as the ‘site’ parameter on each tool call
