We’re excited to announce a new integration between Temporal Cloud and Datadog, designed to transform how developers monitor and optimize their Temporal Workflows.
This integration delivers out-of-the-box metrics dashboards, simplified setup, and cost-saving opportunities.
Unlock observability with minimal effort
With this integration, joint customers can now access a pre-built Temporal Cloud metrics dashboard directly within Datadog. This dashboard provides insights into system health, performance, and Workflow efficiency—all with minimal setup. By leveraging Datadog, teams can monitor key Temporal Cloud metrics such as service latency, replication lag, Workflow success rates, and more without needing to build custom visualizations from scratch.
Simplified metrics integration
Previously, integrating Temporal Cloud metrics with Datadog required a PromQL-to-Datadog scraper, adding complexity and maintenance overhead. With this integration, that’s no longer necessary. The integration uses a crawler-based approach to fetch metrics directly from Temporal Cloud’s Prometheus endpoints via REST APIs.
Cost-efficient monitoring
An additional benefit of this integration is the potential to lower your Datadog costs. Unlike custom metrics ingestion, which incurs additional charges in Datadog, the Temporal Cloud metrics provided through this integration are classified as standard metrics. This means you can achieve comprehensive observability without worrying about escalating costs.
What’s included in the integration?
The Temporal Cloud–Datadog integration offers:
- Out-of-the-Box Dashboards: Pre-configured dashboards for monitoring system health and Workflow efficiency.
- Proactive Alerts: Built-in monitors for critical metrics like service latency (P99), Workflow failures, and replication lag.
- Granular Insights: Metrics tagged with attributes like namespace, operation type, and task type for detailed analysis.
Get started today
Setting up the integration is straightforward. You simply need to configure your Temporal Cloud Prometheus endpoint URL within Datadog and upload the required certificates for secure authentication. Once configured, the crawler will automatically fetch metrics data periodically and populate the dashboards in real time.
