### Enable Datadog for Your Bolt Schedules

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

To configure incident creation:

1. Navigate to **Bolt** > **Schedules** in the Paradime interface.
2. Select the schedule you want to monitor.
3. Open the [**Integration Settings** ](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/trigger-integrations/trigger-datadog-incidents)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.

### Datadog Integration Capabilities

Paradime uses the Datadog API to automatically create incidents for [Bolt Schedules](/products/bolt/index).

This integration enables you to:

* Automatically track dbt™ run failures in Datadog
* Leverage Datadog's incident management workflows
* Monitor pipeline health alongside your application monitoring
* Reduce time to resolution for data pipeline issues
