Datadog

The Datadog integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] sends all state changes to Datadog using a Datadog Agent.

Datadog allows you to analyze, monitor, cross-reference and alert upon your data. You can use it to detect statistical anomalies, see graphs across multiple sources in real-time, send critical alerts to Slack, etc.

The integration also sends events from the logbook into Datadog, allowing you to correlate these events with your data.

Setup

You need to have a Datadog agent installed in a network accessible by Home Assistant.

In the Datadog Agent configuration, you must enable DogStatsD non-local traffic to allow StatsD data collection from outside localhost.
