Datadog

Datadog metrics, events, and monitor management

Datadog is the dominant observability platform — metrics, logs, traces, and synthetics in one cohesive UI, used by engineering and SRE teams across most cloud-native orgs. Tiny Command exposes four actions, no triggers (Datadog alerts fire to configured notification channels — Slack, PagerDuty, webhooks; configure a webhook integration pointing at a Tiny Command webhook trigger to react to firing monitors): Post Event (push a discrete event into the Datadog timeline — the equivalent of "marked when this deploy went live", but Datadog-native and tag-queryable in dashboards), Query Metrics (run a metric query in Datadog's query language and get time-series back — e.g., `avg:trace.web.request.duration{env:prod}` for the last hour), Create Monitor (programmatically define an alerting monitor with query, thresholds, and notification list), List Monitors (every monitor in the org, filterable by tag/status). The connection takes a Datadog API key + Application key from Org Settings; Application key carries the user-scoped permissions for write operations.

Actions

Do anything Datadog can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Create Datadog MonitorProgrammatically defines an alerting monitor with query, thresholds, and notification list. Useful for infrastructure-as-workflow patterns where new services auto-provision their monitoring.
List Datadog MonitorsReturns every monitor in the org with status and filter tags. Useful for "what's firing right now" dashboards or "audit monitors that haven't alerted in 6 months for cleanup" maintenance workflows.
Post Datadog EventPushes a discrete event into Datadog's timeline — vertical line annotations on dashboards. The standard "mark when this deploy went live" workflow that helps engineers correlate metric changes with deploy timestamps.
Query Datadog MetricsRuns a Datadog query (aggregator:metric{tags}) over a time range and returns the time-series. Useful for "send the daily KPI metric to Slack" or "alert when error rate doubles" custom workflows.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Datadog once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Datadog field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the Datadog integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect Datadog to Tiny Command?
Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a Datadog node, and click Connect. Authorize Datadog once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.
What Datadog triggers does Tiny Command support?
Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for Datadog today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start Datadog workflows, then run any Datadog action you need.
What Datadog actions can I run from a workflow?
4 Datadog actions are available out of the box, covering developer tools operations like "Create Datadog Monitor". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.
Is the Datadog integration real-time?
Datadog actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Datadog's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.
Do I need to write code to use Datadog with Tiny Command?
No. Every Datadog trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any Datadog API endpoint directly.
How much does the Datadog integration cost?
There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The Datadog integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
