Authentication & Authorization

The DataGrail Datadog integration connects using API key authentication which requires an API Key and Application Key.

Scope	Base	Access
user_access_read		✅
logs_read_data		✅
monitors_downtime	✅

Base Scopes

All base scopes must be granted in order to connect the integration with DataGrail. The remaining scopes are only required if enabling those capabilities

Endpoints Utilized

Limits

Limits in Datadog are calculated using the leaky bucket algorithm. All requests that are made after rate limits have been exceeded are throttled and an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error is returned. Requests succeed again after enough requests have emptied out of the bucket.

• DataGrail supports requests throttling to stay within 70-80% of specified service rate limits.
• DataGrail processes API responses with HTTP 429 status to interrupt requests, waiting and retrying (using an exponential backoff strategy).
