The first step in using Datadog with Harness is to set up a Datadog Verification Provider in Harness.
A Harness Verification Provider is a connection to monitoring tools such as Datadog. Once Harness is connected, you can use Harness 24/7 Service Guard and Deployment Verification with your Datadog data and analysis.
To create an application key in Datadog, do the following:
In Datadog, mouseover Integrations, and then click APIs. The APIs page appears.
In Application Keys, in New application key, enter a name for the application key, such as Harness, and click Create Application Key.
Copy the API key and, in Harness, paste it into the Application Key field.
Step 6: Usage Scope
Usage scope is inherited from the secrets used in the settings.
Datadog has limit of about 300 API calls per hour. Requests to analyze many metrics can hit the limit. Datadog can increase the limit upon request. For more information, see Rate Limiting from Datadog.
