--- title: Cursor description: Datadog Extension for Cursor breadcrumbs: Docs > Integrations > Cursor --- # Cursor Supported OS Error Tracking insights in CursorCursor Productivity Overview Dashboard ## Overview{% #overview %} Datadog supports Cursor in two separate ways: {% tab title="Datadog Extension for Cursor" %} The [Datadog Extension for Cursor](https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/ide_plugins/vscode.md?tab=cursor) helps you improve your software by providing code-level insights directly in the IDE, based on real-time observability data from: - Logs - Error Tracking - CI Visibility - App and API Protection - Synthetics - Static Analysis - Datadog Model Context Protocol (MCP) server **Use this when you want Datadog context directly in Cursor while coding.** {% /tab %} {% tab title="Cursor integration in Datadog" %} The Cursor integration in Datadog ingests Cursor usage and spend telemetry (for example, `cursor.daily_usage.*`, `cursor.usage_events.*`, and `cursor.spending.*`) so you can monitor adoption, usage patterns, and cost in Datadog. **Use this when you want to monitor Cursor activity from Datadog dashboards, notebooks, and monitors.** {% /tab %} ## Setup{% #setup %} Choose the setup flow based on which product you are configuring. ### Installation and configuration{% #installation-and-configuration %} {% tab title="Datadog Extension for Cursor" %} #### Installation (Cursor IDE){% #installation-cursor-ide %} From Cursor: 1. Open the **Extensions** view and search for `Datadog`. Alternatively, find the [Datadog Extension in the Open VSX registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/datadog/datadog-vscode). 1. Click **Install** to download and install the extension in your IDE. 1. If prompted that Datadog is a third-party extension, click **Accept**. 1. Click **Restart IDE**. #### Configuration (Cursor IDE){% #configuration-cursor-ide %} You can find the extension settings within the IDE settings, under **Datadog**. In the extension settings, select the Datadog services relevant to your project. {% /tab %} {% tab title="Cursor integration in Datadog" %} #### Installation (Datadog){% #installation-datadog %} 1. In Datadog, open the [Cursor integration tile](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/cursor). 1. Log in to the [Cursor Admin Portal Team Settings](https://cursor.com/dashboard/team-settings) with an admin account. 1. Under **Advanced**, open **API Keys** and generate a new API key with Admin scope. 1. Copy the generated Admin API key. 1. In Datadog, add an account name and paste the key into the **API Key** field. 1. Choose the telemetry you want to collect: - Enable Daily Usage Data - Enable Spending Data - Enable Usage Events - Enable AI Commit Metrics (Enterprise) - Enable AI Code Change Metrics (Enterprise) 1. Save the configuration, then confirm metrics are arriving by searching for `cursor.` in Datadog Metrics Explorer. #### Configuration (Datadog){% #configuration-datadog %} After setup, configure monitors and dashboards for the `cursor.*` metrics that matter to your teams (for example, usage volume or spend trends). The **AI Commit Metrics** and **AI Code Change Metrics** options are available for Cursor Enterprise organizations. {% /tab %} ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | | **cursor.daily\_usage.total\_lines\_added**(gauge) | Total number of lines added in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.total\_lines\_deleted**(gauge) | Total number of lines deleted in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.accepted\_lines\_added**(gauge) | Total number of suggested line additions accepted in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.accepted\_lines\_deleted**(gauge) | Total number of suggested line deletions accepted in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.total\_applies**(gauge) | Total number of code change suggestions accepted in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.total\_rejects**(gauge) | Total number of code change suggestions rejected in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.total\_tabs\_shown**(gauge) | Total number of autocomplete suggestions shown in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.total\_tabs\_accepted**(gauge) | Total number of autocomplete suggestions accepted in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.composer\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of composer requests made in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.bugbot\_usages**(gauge) | Total number of bugbot usages in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.chat\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of chat requests made in a day.*Shown as request* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.agent\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of agent requests made in a day.*Shown as request* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.cmdk\_usages**(gauge) | Total number of inline edit prompt bar calls in a day.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.subscription\_included\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of subscription included requests made in a day.*Shown as request* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.api\_key\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of API key requests made in a day.*Shown as request* | | **cursor.daily\_usage.usage\_based\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of usage based requests made in a day.*Shown as request* | | **cursor.spending.spend\_cents**(gauge) | Total number of cents spent.*Shown as cent* | | **cursor.spending.fast\_premium\_requests**(gauge) | Total number of fast premium requests made.*Shown as request* | | **cursor.usage\_events.input\_tokens**(count) | Total number of input tokens used for a session.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.usage\_events.output\_tokens**(count) | Total number of output tokens used for a session.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.usage\_events.cache\_write\_tokens**(count) | Total number of cache write tokens used for a session.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.usage\_events.cache\_read\_tokens**(count) | Total number of cache read tokens used for a session.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.usage\_events.total\_cents**(count) | Total number of cents spent for a session.*Shown as cent* | | **cursor.ai\_commits.tab\_lines\_added**(count) | Total number of lines added using tab completion in a commit.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_commits.tab\_lines\_deleted**(count) | Total number of lines deleted using tab completion in a commit.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_commits.composer\_lines\_added**(count) | Total number of lines added using the Composer in a commit.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_commits.composer\_lines\_deleted**(count) | Total number of lines deleted using the Composer in a commit.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_commits.non\_ai\_lines\_added**(count) | Total number of lines added without AI assistance in a commit.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_commits.non\_ai\_lines\_deleted**(count) | Total number of lines deleted without AI assistance in a commit.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_changes.lines\_added**(count) | Total number of lines added in a specific code change.*Shown as unit* | | **cursor.ai\_changes.lines\_deleted**(count) | Total number of lines deleted in a specific code change.*Shown as unit* | ## Support{% #support %} Need help?
