Overview

This section details Datadogs HTTP API. It makes it easy to get data in and out of Datadog. The Datadog API uses resource-oriented URLs, uses status codes to indicate the success or failure of requests and returns JSON from all requests. Let's dive in and see how it works.
Libraries
There are many client libraries that wrap the Datadog API. Check them out.
API Endpoint
https://app.datadoghq.com/api/

Authentication

All requests to Datadog's API must be authenticated. Requests that write data require reporting access and require an API key. Requests that read data require full access and also require an application key.

You can manage your account's API and application keys here.

Example
#!/bin/sh
# Make sure you replace the API and/or APP key below
# with the ones for your account

curl "https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/validate?api_key=9775a026f1ca7d1c6c5af9d94d9595a4"


# Make sure you replace the API and/or APP key below
# with the ones for your account

from datadog import initialize, api

options = {
    'api_key': '9775a026f1ca7d1c6c5af9d94d9595a4',
    'app_key': '87ce4a24b5553d2e482ea8a8500e71b8ad4554ff'
}

initialize(**options)

# Make sure you replace the API and/or APP key below
# with the ones for your account

require 'rubygems'
require 'dogapi'

dog = Dogapi::Client.new('9775a026f1ca7d1c6c5af9d94d9595a4', '87ce4a24b5553d2e482ea8a8500e71b8ad4554ff')

Success and Errors

The Datadog API uses HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of a request.

An error indicates that the service did not successfully handle your request. In addition to the status code, the response may contain a JSON object with an errors array containing more detailed error messages. Note: When using libraries, some errors may throw exceptions rather than return JSON objects.

If the service is able to handle your request, but some issues are present (e.g. using a deprecated API or API version), the HTTP status code will indicate success and the response body will contain the expected result with the addition of a warnings array containing detailed warning messages.

Status Codes
  • 200 200
  • 201 Created
  • 202 202
  • 204 No Content
  • 301 301
  • 304 Not Modified
  • 401 401
  • 403 Forbidden 404
  • 404 Not Found
  • 409 409
  • 422 Unprocessable
  • 500 Server Error
  • Accepted 204
  • Conflict 422
  • Entity 500
  • Moved Permanently 304
  • OK 201
  • Unauthorized 403
Example Error Response
{ 'errors': [
    'Something bad happened to the server.',
    'Your query made the server very sad.'
  ]
}
Example Warning Response
{ 'some_thing': ...,
  'some_other_thing': ...,
  'warnings': [
      'This is a deprecated API.'
  ]
}

Rate Limiting

Some of our API endpoints are rate limited. Once you exceed a certain number of requests in a certain time period we return an error.

For rate limited API endpoints we return headers so you can know how close you are to your limit. If you exceed your limit, you can review these headers to determine when you will be able to try again.

Rate limits can be increased from defaults by contacting the Datadog Support team.

Rate Limit Headers
  • X-RateLimit-Limitnumber of requests allowed in a time period
  • X-RateLimit-Periodlength of time in seconds for resets (calendar aligned)
  • X-RateLimit-Remainingnumber of allowed requests left in current time period
  • X-RateLimit-Resettime in seconds until next reset

Metrics

The metrics end-point allows you to:

  • Post metrics data so it can be graphed on Datadog's dashboards
  • Query metrics from any time period

As occurs within the Datadog UI, a graph can only contain a set number of points and as the timeframe over which a metric is viewed increases, aggregation between points will occur to stay below that set number.

Thus, if you are querying for larger timeframes of data, the points returned will be more aggregated. The max granularity within Datadog is one point per second, so if you had submitted points at that interval and requested a very small interval from the query API (in this case, probably less than 100 seconds), you could end up getting all of those points back. Otherwise, our algorithm tries to return about 150 points per any given time window, so you'll see coarser and coarser granularity as the amount of time requested increases. We do this time aggregation via averages.

Post time series points

The metrics end-point allows you to post time-series data that can be graphed on Datadog's dashboards.

Arguments
  • metric [required]
    The name of the time series
  • points [required]
    A JSON array of points. Each point is of the form:
    [[POSIX_timestamp, numeric_value], ...]
    Note that the timestamp should be in seconds, must be current, and the numeric value is a 32bit float gauge-type value. Current is defined as not more than 10 minutes in the future or more than 1 hour in the past.
  • host [optional, default=None]
    The name of the host that produced the metric.
  • tags [optional, default=None]

Events

The events service allows you to programatically post events to the stream and fetch events from the stream.

Post an Event

This end point allows you to post events to the stream. You can tag them, set priority and event aggregate them with other events.

Arguments
  • date_happened [optional, default=now]
    POSIX timestamp of the event.
  • priority [optional, default='normal']
    The priority of the event ('normal' or 'low').
  • host [optional, default=None]
    Host name to associate with the event. Any tags associated with the host will also be applied to this event.
  • tags [optional, default=None]
    A list of tags to apply to the event.
  • alert_type [optional, default='info']
    "error", "warning", "info" or "success".
  • [required]
  • aggregation_key [optional, default=None]
    An arbitrary string to use for aggregation, max length of 100 characters. If you specify a key, all events using that key will be grouped together in the Event Stream.

Monitors

Monitors allow you to watch a metric or check that you care about, notifying your team when some defined threshold is exceeded. Please refer to the Guide to Monitors for more information on creating monitors.

Create a monitor

Arguments
  • type [required]
    The type of the monitor, chosen from:
    • metric alert
    • service check
    • event alert
    • composite
  • query [required]
    The query defines when the monitor will trigger. Query syntax depends on what type of monitor you are creating:
    Metric Alert Query
    time_aggr(time_window):space_aggr:metric{tags} [by {key}] operator #
    • time_aggr avg, sum, max, min, change, or pct_change
    • time_window last_#m (5, 10, 15, or 30), last_#h (1, 2, or 4), or last_1d
    • space_aggr avg, sum, min, or max
    • tags one or more tags (comma-separated), or *
    • key a 'key' in key:value tag syntax; defines a separate alert for each tag in the group (multi-alert)
    • operator <, <=, >, >=, ==, or !=
    • # an integer or decimal number used to set the threshold
    If you are using the change or pct_change time aggregator, you can instead use change_aggr(time_aggr(time_window), timeshift):space_aggr:metric{tags} [by {key}] operator # with:
    • change_aggr change, pct_change
    • time_aggr avg, sum, max, min
    • time_window last_#m (1, 5, 10, 15, or 30), last_#h (1, 2, or 4), or last_#d (1 or 2)
    • timeshift #m_ago (5, 10, 15, or 30), #h_ago (1, 2, or 4), or 1d_ago
    You can also use this to create an outlier monitor using the following query: avg(last_30m):outliers(avg:system.cpu.user{role:es-events-data} by {host}, 'dbscan', 7) > 0
    Service Check Query
    "check".over(tags).last(count).count_by_status()
    • check name of the check, e.g. datadog.agent.up
    • tags one or more quoted tags (comma-separated), or "*". e.g.: .over("env:prod", "role:db")
    • count must be at >= your max threshold (defined in the options). e.g. if you want to notify on 1 critical, 3 ok and 2 warn statuses count should be 3.
    Event Alert Query
    events('sources:nagios status:error,warning priority:normal tags: "string query"').rollup("count").last("1h")"
    • event, the event query string:
      • string_query free text query to match against event title and text.
      • sources event sources (comma-separated).
      • status event statuses (comma-separated). Valid options: error, warn, and info.
      • priority event priorities (comma-separated). Valid options: low, normal, all.
      • host event reporting host (comma-separated).
      • tags event tags (comma-separated).
      • excluded_tags exluded event tags (comma-separated).
    • rollup the stats rollup method. count is the only supported method now.
    • last the timeframe to roll up the counts. Examples: 60s, 4h. Supported timeframes: s, m, h and d.
    Composite Query
    12345 && 67890, where 12345 and 67890 are the IDs of non-composite monitors
  • name [optional, default=dynamic, based on query]
    The name of the alert.
  • message [optional, default=dynamic, based on query]
    A message to include with notifications for this monitor. Email notifications can be sent to specific users by using the same '@username' notation as events.
  • tags [optional, default=empty list]
    A list of tags to associate with your monitor. When getting all monitor details via the API, you can use the monitor_tags argument to filter results by these tags. It will only be available via the API and will not be visible or editable in the Datadog UI.
  • options [optional]
    A dictionary of options for the monitor. There are options that are common to all types as well as options that are specific to certain monitor types.
    Common Options
    • silenced dictionary of scopes to timestamps or None. Each scope will be muted until the given POSIX timestamp or forever if the value is None.

      Default: None

      Examples:

      • To mute the alert completely:

        {'*': None}

      • To mute role:db for a short time:

        {'role:db': 1412798116}

    • notify_no_data a boolean indicating whether this monitor will notify when data stops reporting.

      Default: false

    • new_host_delay Time (in seconds) to allow a host to boot and applications to fully start before starting the evaluation of monitor results. Should be a non negative integer.

      Default: 300

    • no_data_timeframe the number of minutes before a monitor will notify when data stops reporting. Must be at least 2x the monitor timeframe for metric alerts or 2 minutes for service checks.

      Default: 2x timeframe for metric alerts, 2 minutes for service checks

    • timeout_h the number of hours of the monitor not reporting data before it will automatically resolve from a triggered state.

      Default: None

    • require_full_window a boolean indicating whether this monitor needs a full window of data before it's evaluated. We highly recommend you set this to False for sparse metrics, otherwise some evaluations will be skipped.

      Default: True for "on average", "at all times" and "in total" aggregation. False otherwise.

    • renotify_interval the number of minutes after the last notification before a monitor will re-notify on the current status. It will only re-notify if it's not resolved.

      Default: None

    • escalation_message a message to include with a re-notification. Supports the '@username' notification we allow elsewhere. Not applicable if renotify_interval is None.

      Default: None

    • notify_audit a boolean indicating whether tagged users will be notified on changes to this monitor.

      Default: False

    • locked a boolean indicating whether changes to to this monitor should be restricted to the creator or admins.

      Default: False

    • include_tags a boolean indicating whether notifications from this monitor will automatically insert its triggering tags into the title.

      Default: True

      Examples:

      • True:

        [Triggered on {host:h1}] Monitor Title

      • False:

        [Triggered] Monitor Title

    Metric Alert Options
    These options only apply to metric alerts.
    • thresholds a dictionary of thresholds by threshold type. Currently we have two threshold types for metric alerts: critical and warning. Critical is defined in the query, but can also be specified in this option. Warning threshold can only be specified using the thresholds option.

      Example: {'critical': 90, 'warning': 80}

    • evaluation_delay Time (in seconds) to delay evaluation, as a non-negative integer. For example, if the value is set to 300 (5min), the timeframe is set to last_5m and the time is 7:00, the monitor will evaluate data from 6:50 to 6:55. This is useful for AWS CloudWatch and other backfilled metrics to ensure the monitor will always have data during evaluation.
    Service Check Options
    These options only apply to service checks and will be ignored for other monitor types.
    • thresholds a dictionary of thresholds by status. Because service checks can have multiple thresholds, we don't define them directly in the query.

      Default: {'ok': 1, 'critical': 1, 'warning': 1}

    Downtimes

    Downtiming gives you greater control over monitor notifications by allowing you to globally exclude scopes from alerting. Downtime settings, which can be scheduled with start and end times, prevent all alerting related to specified Datadog tags.

    Schedule monitor downtime

    Arguments
  • scope [required]
    The scope(s) to which the downtime will apply, e.g. 'host:app2'. Provide multiple scopes as a comma-separated list, e.g. 'env:dev,env:prod'. The resulting downtime applies to sources that matches ALL provided scopes (i.e. env:dev AND env:prod), NOT any of them.
  • monitor_id [optional, default=None]
    A single monitor to which the downtime will apply. If not provided, the downtime will apply to all monitors.
  • start [optional, default=None]
    POSIX timestamp to start the downtime. If not provided, the downtime starts the moment it is created.
  • end [optional, default=None]
    POSIX timestamp to end the downtime. If not provided, the downtime will be in effect indefinitely (i.e. until you cancel it).
  • message [optional, default=None]
    A message to include with notifications for this downtime. Email notifications can be sent to specific users by using the same '@username' notation as events
  • monitor_id [optional, default=None]
    The id of a specific monitor to apply the downtime to.
  • recurrence [optional, default=None]
    An object defining the recurrence of the downtime with a variety of parameters:
    • type the type of recurrence. Choose from: days, weeks, months, years.
    • period how often to repeat as an integer. For example to repeat every 3 days, select a type of days and a period of 3.
    • week_days (optional) a list of week days to repeat on. Choose from: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat or Sun. Only applicable when type is weeks. First letter must be capitalized.
    • until_occurrences (optional) how many times the downtime will be rescheduled. until_occurences and until_date are mutually exclusive
    • until_date (optional) the date at which the recurrence should end as a POSIX timestmap. until_occurences and until_date are mutually exclusive
  • timezone [optional, default=UTC]
    The timezone for the downtime.

    Troubleshooting

    We do very minimal error checking on the API front-end, as we queue all data for asynchronous processing (the goal being to always, always accept your data in production situations and decouple our systems from yours).

    Thus it is possible you could receive a 202 'success' response but not see your data in Datadog. The cause of this is most likely:

    • Problems with the timestamp (either not in seconds or in the past, etc.)
    • Using the application key instead of API key
    • Events are succeeding, but because success events are low priority, they don't show up in the event stream until it is switched to priority 'all'

    To check your timestamp is correct run:
    date -u && curl -s -v https://app.datadoghq.com 2>&1 | grep Date
    This will output the current system’s date, and then make a request to our endpoint and grab the date on our end. If these are more than a few minutes apart, you may want to look at the time settings on your server.


    There are also certain fields which are not mandatory for submission, but do require a valid input. For example, in submitting an event the priority field must be one of the four given options. Any other text will result in a 202 'success' but no event showing up. Having an invalid source_type_name will not prevent the event from showing up, but that field will be dropped upon submission.
