# Datadog

> Give the Sazabi agent the Datadog CLI (pup) in its sandbox to validate Datadog API credentials and query your Datadog account.

[All Datadog integration capabilities](https://docs.sazabi.com/catalogs/integrations/datadog)

## About

This CLI connection makes the Datadog CLI (`pup`) available in the Sazabi agent's sandbox. The tool is baked into the sandbox image; connecting it authenticates the already-installed CLI.

## Prerequisites

* A Sazabi project.
* A Datadog API key (`DD_API_KEY`), available from your Datadog organization settings under API Keys.
* A Datadog application key (`DD_APP_KEY`), available from the same settings page under Application Keys.

## Set up in the dashboard

Configure the sandbox in the dashboard under [**Settings > Sandbox CLIs**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/sandbox-clis).

**Step 1**

### Find Datadog in the catalog

In [**Settings > Sandbox CLIs**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/sandbox-clis), find Datadog under **Browse sandbox CLIs** and choose to connect it.

**Step 2**

### Provide credentials

Enter the required values: `DD_API_KEY` — your Datadog API key; `DD_APP_KEY` — your Datadog application key. Optionally, set `DD_SITE` to your Datadog site (e.g. `datadoghq.eu`) if you use a non-US region; defaults to `datadoghq.com` if omitted. Save to store them securely; Sazabi injects them into the sandbox when the agent runs.

## Set up with the CLI

You can also configure the Datadog CLI connection with the [Sazabi CLI](https://docs.sazabi.com/reference/cli.md) (installed and authenticated — see [CLI reference](https://docs.sazabi.com/reference/cli/sandbox-clis.md)).

```bash theme={"system"}
sazabi sandbox-clis connect datadog --env DD_API_KEY=<your-dd-api-key> --env DD_APP_KEY=<your-dd-app-key>
```

To validate the credentials without saving, run the same command with `test` in place of `connect` (the test command also requires the `--env` flags).

## Verify

Ask the agent, in a thread, to run the `pup` CLI (a read-only or status command) and confirm it returns real output from your account. If the command is not found, the CLI connection may not be enabled; if it runs unauthenticated, recheck the credentials.

## Troubleshooting

**Command not found** — Confirm the Datadog CLI connection is enabled for the project under [**Settings > Sandbox CLIs**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/sandbox-clis).

**Authentication fails** — Recheck the credential values; a rotated or revoked token must be re-entered under [**Settings > Sandbox CLIs**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/sandbox-clis) or with `sazabi sandbox-clis connect datadog`.
