Datadog Data Stream Parameters

The Datadog plugin data stream provides data streams for retrieving metrics, synthetic tests, and synthetic test runs. These streams let you monitor system and application performance, track test configurations, and analyze recent test executions.

By filtering on attributes such as metric name, test type, status, region, or tags, you can tailor the data to your specific monitoring and troubleshooting needs.

Cost

Gets historical cost data from your Datadog account. Optionally, use estimated cost to include the current, not-yet-billed month. Only available for parent-level organizations.

Parameter	Description
Historical	Returns finalised monthly cost data.
Estimated	Returns estimated cost data of the in-progress current month and the previous month.

Events

Search events by providing a query using Datadog Log Search Syntax.

Host Metrics

Returns a single named Datadog metric for the hosts in scope, such as system.cpu.user.

Parameter	Description
Counter name	Specify the metric name you want to retrieve (e.g. `system.cpu.user`, `memory.usage`, `http.requests`). Refer to Datadog Metrics for supported metrics.

Monitors

Returns Datadog monitors with their current status. The filters separate the tags applied to a monitor from the tags of the infrastructure it watches, so you can narrow by either.

Parameter	Description
Status	Specify a monitor status to filter results by (e.g. `OK`, `Alert`, `Warn`, or `No Data`).
Name query	Filter monitors by matching a substring in the monitor name. Supports expressions.
Scope tags	Filter monitors by the infrastructure they monitor, for example `host:web-1` or `env:prod`. Specify multiple tags to combine them with `AND`. Supports expressions.
Monitor tags	Filter monitors by tags applied to the monitor itself, for example `team:backend` or `service:checkout`. Specify multiple tags to combine them with `AND`. Supports expressions.
