Datadog

Topogy has an integration with Datadog which enables us to understand your usage, how it affects cost, and correlate it with overall platform spending. In order to take advantage of these capabilities, you need to grant the Topogy app access on Datadog, then enable the Datadog integration in Topogy.

Topogy is in an ongoing process to integrate with Datadog and become part of Datadog's Network Partner. In the meantime, while this process isn't finished, the access to your instance is done using a combination of API and Application Keys.

Below, you can see instructions for collecting this information and saving it in Topogy.
