# Datadog

> Connect Datadog to Deductive AI to enable reasoning over your datadog data.

## Create Datadog Keys

The simplest and safest way to connect Datadog is by using a service account with read-only access. This limits Deductive to observability data only.

1. Create (or reuse) a Datadog service account.
2. Assign it the 'Datadog Read Only' role.
3. From the service account, create a 'Datadog Application Key'.
4. Set the key to 'Unscoped' - unscoped application keys automatically include the required read permissions.
5. Create a standard 'Datadog API Key' - these are account-wide and used for authentication.

## Connect Datadog in Deductive

Once connected, Deductive will begin ingesting Datadog metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards for alert investigation.

1. Navigate to 'Integrations' -> 'Datadog' in the Deductive settings.
2. Enter your 'Datadog API Key' and 'Application Key'.
3. Select the correct 'Datadog API endpoint' for your region.
4. Click 'Add' to complete the connection.
