Reporting automatically sends a visual summary of a dashboard to selected recipients on a schedule. The generated reports display images of widgets from a dashboard in a linear HTML format.
Create a new report from any dashboard with a grid-based or automatic layout. Click on the dashboard’s cog icon and select Schedule a Report.
The following widget types are supported:
In the configuration modal that opens, set a schedule for the report to determine when and how often the report is sent. Set a time frame to determine the range of time displayed in the resulting report. The report time frame can be different from the time frame displayed on the dashboard.
Add recipients to your report by entering their email addresses. The email associated with your Datadog account is automatically added as a recipient. You can remove yourself as a recipient by hovering over your email and clicking the X that appears next to it.
Note: Enterprise and Pro accounts can send reports to recipients outside of their organizations.
Finally, customize the report to provide recipients with more context or a tailored view. The optional description appears at the top of each report to provide more context on the dashboard.
Click Edit Template Variables to modify the filters applied when the report is sent. These values do not affect the underlying dashboard’s defaults.
To see the report before saving the schedule, click Send Preview. You can pause a report schedule at any time.
A single dashboard can have multiple scheduled reports with different settings, for example, to support different groups of stakeholders interested in the same dashboard. To see the reports on an existing dashboard, open the dashboard cog menu and select Configure Reports.
From the configuration modal that opens, you can pause an existing report or create a new report. To see and edit the details of an existing report, or delete the report, click Edit.
Only users with the Dashboard Report Write permission can generate a report. This permission is turned on by default for Admins and off for all other roles.
Images generated in reports show all data regardless of granular read restrictions. We recommend limiting the report permissions to users who have no granular read restrictions on data. To grant a user the Dashboard Report Write permission, create a new role with the Dashboards Report Write permission turned on and assign the user to this role. Alternatively, assign the Admin role to this user. To learn more about managing roles and permissions, read our account management documentation.
