Datadog

Datadog is a monitoring and observability platform. Connecting Datadog to Paradime automatically creates incidents in Datadog whenever a Bolt schedule fails, so your team can track and resolve dbt™ pipeline issues inside the same incident workflows you already use.

​

What you can do

• Automatically track dbt™ run failures as Datadog incidents
• Leverage Datadog’s incident management workflows for data pipelines
• Monitor pipeline health alongside your application monitoring
• Reduce time to resolution for data pipeline issues

​

Prerequisites

Before connecting Datadog to Paradime, make sure you have:

• An existing Bolt schedule
• A Datadog account
• A Datadog API Key
• A Datadog Application Key with the following permissions:
  • incident_notification_settings_read
  • incident_read
  • incident_write
  • teams_read
  • user_access_read

​

Step 1: Gather your Datadog credentials

1. Generate an API Key: follow the instructions in the Datadog documentation and copy your API Key.
2. Generate an Application Key: follow the instructions in the Datadog documentation and copy your Application Key.

​

Step 2: Connect Datadog to Paradime

1. In Paradime, go to Settings → Integrations (see connecting integrations), find Datadog, and click Connect.
2. Select your Datadog API region.
3. Enter your Datadog API Key into the field provided.
4. Enter your Datadog Application Key into the field provided.
5. Click Create to establish the connection.

Once connected, Paradime will automatically create incidents in Datadog whenever Bolt runs fail.

​

Enable Datadog for your Bolt schedules

After enabling the integration, configure which Bolt schedules should create incidents in Datadog when they fail.

1. Navigate to Bolt → Schedules in the Paradime interface.
2. Select the schedule you want to monitor.
3. Open the Integration Settings for that schedule.
4. Enable Datadog Incident Creation to automatically create incidents in Datadog when the schedule fails.

Once enabled, any failures in the configured Bolt schedules will automatically trigger incident creation in Datadog, allowing your team to respond quickly to data pipeline issues.
