Rocketgraph can pull metrics, logs, and traces from your Datadog account. You create a read-only service account and scoped application key in Datadog, then add the credentials in Rocketgraph.
Prerequisites
- A Datadog account with data you want to query
- Permission to manage users and API keys in Datadog
- A Rocketgraph account — sign up here
1. Create a read-only service account
- Go to Organization Settings → Users
- Click Invite user (or New service account if you are on a plan that supports service accounts)
- Assign the Datadog Read Only role
- Complete the invite flow and note the account email
2. Create a scoped application key
Application keys in Datadog inherit the permissions of the user they belong to. Using the read-only service account ensures the key cannot modify anything.
- Log in as the read-only service account (or go to Organization Settings → Application Keys as an admin and create a key scoped to that user)
- Click New Key
- Give it a name (e.g.
Rocketgraph datasource)
- Copy the Application Key — you will need it in the next step
You will also need your Datadog API Key:
- Go to Organization Settings → API Keys
- Copy an existing key or create a new one named
Rocketgraph
API and application keys are shown once. Store them securely before closing the dialog.
3. Add Datadog as a datasource in Rocketgraph
- Log in to Rocketgraph
- Navigate to the Datasources tab
- Click Add datasource and select Datadog
- Enter your:
- Site (e.g.
datadoghq.com, datadoghq.eu, us3.datadoghq.com)
- API Key
- Application Key
- Click Save — Rocketgraph will verify the connection
Once connected, your Datadog metrics, logs, and traces will be available for querying and AI analysis in Rocketgraph.
