## Overview{% #overview %}

Blue Matador's Datadog integration allows you to send Blue Matador events to the event stream in Datadog.



You can use it to enhance your existing dashboards or to correlate with metrics you're collecting in Datadog.



For a full list of events and metrics that Blue Matador monitors and that you can import into Datadog, see their [monitors page](https://www.bluematador.com/monitored-events).

## Setup{% #setup %}
