The Developers section contains reference materials for developing for Datadog.
Developers have several choices for sending unsupported data to Datadog. The main considerations are effort (time to develop) and budget (cost of custom metrics).
| Type | Effort | Custom Metrics | Language |
|---|---|---|---|
| DogStatsD | Lowest | Yes | Any |
| Custom check | Low | Yes | Python |
| Private integration | Medium | Yes | Python |
| Public integration | High | No | Python |
