Datadog

Send LoadStrike reporting events to Datadog Logs and projected metrics to Datadog Metrics.

Reporting

Realtime reporting

Choose the built-in sink page that matches the observability stack your team already uses. Each tab below opens a dedicated page instead of swapping content in place.

When To Use Datadog

Use Datadog when your team already relies on Datadog dashboards, queries, and alerting for both event streams and metric time series.

What LoadStrike Sends

DatadogReportingSink sends reporting events to Datadog Logs and projected metrics to Datadog Metrics. Final export also carries final metric snapshots and run-result metadata such as report files, disabled sink names, and sink error details.

Configuration Surface

Configure the sink in code or through LoadStrike:ReportingSinks:Datadog. Common options include BaseUrl, ApiKey, ApplicationKey, StaticTags, and StaticAttributes.

Downloads

Datadog setup is supported through the downloadable JSON infra-config template and the shared observability asset guide.

Datadog realtime reporting

Use DatadogReportingSink when you want reporting events in Datadog Logs and projected metrics in Datadog Metrics.

Switch between C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript to see the native SDK shape for this sample.

Licensing note: every runnable sample requires a valid runner key via WithRunnerKey("...") or config key LoadStrike:RunnerKey.

HTML reports include an icon-only Light/Dark theme toggle fixed at the top-right. Default report theme is Light.
