## Datadog integration

Datadog is a cloud monitoring and observability platform that provides metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards for your infrastructure and applications. This integration connects Datadog to Frontegg using an API Key and Application Key, enabling your AI agent to query metrics, monitors, dashboards, logs, incidents, and more.

Prerequisites
- A Datadog account with admin access
- Permission to create API Keys and Application Keys under **Organisation Settings**
