Overview

Hex is a collaborative data workspace for building notebooks, data apps, and interactive analytics. With Datadog’s Hex integration, data teams can view end-to-end lineage between warehouse tables and Hex projects. The integration collects metadata and field-level lineage for objects in your Hex account.

Data Catalog Assets

The integration builds a representation of the following Hex objects:

  • Projects
  • SQL Cells

Lineage

The integration generates field-level lineage between warehouse tables and columns and downstream Hex projects and SQL cells. Lineage is derived for all supported data warehouse destinations.

Setup

Installation

No installation steps are required.

Configuration

Create a Hex workspace token

  1. In your Hex workspace settings, go to the API keys page.
  2. Click New Token to generate a workspace token.
  3. Provide a description and an expiration time frame. Datadog recommends setting up a token with no expiration.
  4. For the API scopes, select Read Access under Projects, Cells, and Data connections.

Add the API credentials to Datadog

  1. Navigate to the Hex integration tile.
  2. Click Configure > + Add New Account.
  3. Fill out the form with the following:
    • API Token: The token from the previous step.
    • Workspace URL: Required only if you are a single-tenant, EU multi-tenant, or HIPAA multi-tenant customer. Leave empty otherwise.
  4. Click Save.

Validation

It can take up to 60 minutes for data to appear after the initial setup.

Check the Data Catalog to verify that your Hex account appears and that the expected catalog assets are present.

What’s next

When your Hex account is successfully connected, Datadog syncs every 60 minutes and automatically derives field-level lineage from warehouse tables to downstream Hex projects and SQL cells.

After syncing, you can explore your Hex projects and their upstream warehouse dependencies in the Data Observability Catalog.
