## About this integration

While Dagster provides comprehensive monitoring and observability of the pipelines it orchestrates, many teams look to centralize all their monitoring across apps, processes and infrastructure using Datadog's 'Cloud Monitoring as a Service'. The `dagster-datadog` integration allows you to publish metrics to Datadog from within Dagster ops.

## Installation

```bash
pip install dagster-datadog
```

## Example

```python
import os

import dagster as dg
from dagster_datadog import DatadogResource


@dg.asset
def report_to_datadog(datadog: DatadogResource):
    datadog_client = datadog.get_client()
    datadog_client.event("Man down!", "This server needs assistance.")
    datadog_client.gauge("users.online", 1001, tags=["protocol:http"])
    datadog_client.increment("page.views")


defs = dg.Definitions(
    assets=[report_to_datadog],
    resources={
        "datadog": DatadogResource(
            api_key=os.environ["DATADOG_API_KEY"],
            app_key=os.environ["DATADOG_APP_KEY"],
        )
    },
)
```
