Connect to Datadog Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Datadog seamlessly integrates Datadog data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Datadog data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Datadog in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Datadog Data into DBArtisan Projects
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Datadog Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Datadog.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Datadog (see below).
Datadog API Profile Settings
In your Datadog account, navigate to Organization Settings > API Keys to create an API Key, and Organization Settings > Application Keys to create an Application Key. Both are required.
You can then follow the steps below to register Datadog data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to Datadog data. Datadog entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Datadog data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Datadog API.
