# Datadog Grafana Datasource Plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Datadog has a nice dashboard system, but I was having trouble creating a dashboard that combined multiple datasources and grafana was the easiest way to bring it all together.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Query Editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's easy - select aggregation and metric. If you want to filter result, select one or more tags.
|
|
|
|
DataDog datasource supports advanced functions. Select it from dropdown and arrange by clicking function name.
|
|
|
|
### Annotations
|
|
|
|
|
|
Annotations allows to get events from DataDog and display it on graph. You can filter events by sources, tags and priority.
|
|
|
|
### Templating
|
|
There are two options for getting values of tempate variable - metrics and tags. For fetching list of available metrics leave _Query_ field blank or specify `*`. For tags type `tag`. Filter results by using _Regex_ field. Multi-value variables are supported for using in tags (selected values will be converted into comma separated list of tags).
|
|
|
|
#### Ad-hoc filters
|
|
There's new special type of template variable in Grafana called _Ad-hoc filters_. This variable will apply to _all_ DataDog queries on dashboard (all with specified datasource). This alollows to use it like a quick filter. Ad-hoc variable for DataDog fetches all key-value pairs from tags, for example, `region:east, region:west`, and use it as queries tags. To create this variable, select _Ad-hoc filters_ type and choose your DataDog datasource. You can set any name to this variable.
