Conviva

Overview

Connect Datadog with your Conviva account to see your quality of experience (QoE) MetricLens metrics.

Setup

Installation

Install the integration with the Datadog Conviva integration tile.

Configuration

  1. Go to the configuration tab inside the Datadog Conviva integration tile.
  2. Click Add New Credentials and input your Conviva API Key and API Secret. Datadog searches for accounts associated with those credentials.
  3. After Datadog finds the accounts associated with your credentials, add a MetricLens to determine which metrics are be ingested into Datadog. Specify a name for the MetricLens along with a Filter and Dimension. The name is automatically tagged for that specific MetricLens.
  4. Optionally, add tags to specific MetricLenses or to accounts. When you add a tag to an account, the tag is applied to all MetricLenses associated with that account.
  5. Add more MetricLenses by clicking Add New and following the instructions.
  6. Repeat these steps with any additional Conviva credentials using the Add New Credentials button.

Dashboard

After configuring the integration, use the out-of-the box Conviva dashboard to obtain an overview of MetricLens metrics. By default, all metrics collected across all MetricLenses are displayed.

Filter by metriclens to view the breakdown of the metrics by each corresponding MetricLens configured on the tile. Drill down further by filtering by dimension to view metrics by a single dimension entity.
