# Datadog monitor

You can integrate with Datadog, enabling you to view metrics collected by the Datadog monitoring tool. The data is displayed in the graphs.

## Set up the Datadog monitor

Set up the Datadog monitor to request reported data from the Datadog platform.

For each Datadog host, you can define the counters (known in Datadog terminology as metrics) for each host. You can also collect data from multiple hosts to create aggregate graphs.

To set up the Datadog monitor:

1. Select a resources folder for the monitor profile in the resources tree, or create a new folder as follows:

   1. Click the Navigation menu and select Assets > Monitors.

   2. Click the New Folder button and enter a name for the monitor resources folder.

2. Create a monitor profile.

   1. Click the New Monitor Profile button , and make sure Monitor Profile is selected.

   2. Enter a name and optional description for the monitor profile, and click Save. An empty monitor profile is added to the selected resources folder.

   3. Select the monitor profile you just added and click the Add Monitor button .

3. In the Monitor Type Selection tab, select the Datadog monitor type and click Next.

4. In the Monitor Definition tab, enter the server details.

   UI Elements | Description
   --- | ---
   Site | Select the Datadog site where you have your user account.
   API Key | The token string generated by your Datadog user account.
   Application Key | The application key for your Datadog user account.
   Host | The hosts that collect data. Click Get Hosts to refresh the host list and select one or more hosts.

5. Click Get Counters. Select the desired counters, and if more than one host was selected, choose an aggregation method.

6. Click Save.

1. After some brief processing, the counters are displayed in the Datadog graph.

   For counters that are collected from multiple hosts, each data point in the graph gives the aggregated value for all hosts. The aggregation method is indicated in the counter name, for example, avg:<counter1>.
