Preview
Agent Console is available to all Datadog customers in Preview.
The Agent Console provides centralized monitoring for agentic developer tools. It collects logs and metrics from developer environments and surfaces them in real time within Datadog, giving you visibility into usage, cost, latency, and errors across your organization.
Agent Console supports the following integrations:
Set up an integration
Claude Code
Option 1: Anthropic Usage and Costs integration (recommended)
To monitor Claude Code with Agent Console, set up the Anthropic Usage and Costs integration.
After setup, navigate to the Agent Console and click the Claude Code tile to view metrics.
Option 2: OpenTelemetry (OTLP)
The following procedure configures Claude Code to send telemetry directly to Datadog with the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP).
Ensure that your Logs configuration includes a catch-all index, or an index that covers service:claude-code.
Generate a Datadog API key.
Set the following environment variables in your Claude Code settings file (for example, ~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_PROTOCOL": "http/protobuf",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT": "",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_PROTOCOL": "http/protobuf",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT": "",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS": "dd-api-key=<DATADOG_API_KEY>"
}
}
Replace <DATADOG_API_KEY> with your Datadog API key.
To set up Agent Console for Claude Code across your organization, your IT team can use a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system or
server-managed settings to distribute the Claude Code settings file across all managed devices.
Restart Claude Code.
After you restart Claude Code, navigate to the Agent Console in Datadog and click on the Claude Code tile. Metrics (usage, cost, latency, errors) should appear within a few minutes.
Option 3: Forward data through the Datadog Agent
Ensure that your Logs configuration includes a catch-all index, or an index that covers service:claude-code.
Install the Datadog Agent.
Configure your Datadog Agent to enable the OpenTelemetry Collector:
otlp_config:
receiver:
protocols:
grpc:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317
logs:
enabled: true
otelCollector:
enabled: true
Set the following environment variables in your Claude Code settings file (for example, ~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
"OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER": "otlp",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT": "http://127.0.0.1:4317",
"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL": "grpc",
"OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL": "10000"
}
}
To set up Agent Console for Claude Code across your organization, your IT team can use a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system or
server-managed settings to distribute the Claude Code settings file across all managed devices.
Restart Claude Code.
After you restart Claude Code, navigate to the Agent Console in Datadog and click on the Claude Code tile. Metrics (usage, cost, latency, errors) should appear within a few minutes.
