Sample Dashboard Query

Example DataDog query for cost monitoring dashboard:

# Total cluster costs by namespace
sum:deepcost.cluster.total_cost{*} by {namespace}

# Resource utilization trend
avg:deepcost.resource.utilization{resource_type:cpu} by {node}

# Budget usage percentage
(sum:deepcost.budget.usage{*} / sum:deepcost.budget.limit{*}) * 100

# Potential savings by optimization type
sum:deepcost.savings.potential{*} by {optimization_type}

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does DataDog integration take?

Setup takes about 5 minutes. Configure your DataDog API key in DeepCost, enable metrics export, and our pre-built dashboards will be ready to import immediately.

What DataDog permissions are required?

DeepCost requires a DataDog API key with metrics write permissions and an application key for dashboard management. All communication uses DataDog's secure API with encrypted transmission.

How is my cost data secured in DataDog?

Cost metrics are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections and stored according to DataDog's security standards. All data follows SOC 2 compliance requirements and can be configured with custom retention policies.

Can I customize the DataDog dashboards?

Yes, our pre-built dashboards are fully customizable. You can modify widgets, add custom queries, combine cost metrics with your existing infrastructure metrics, and create alert monitors based on your specific needs.

What's the metric refresh frequency?

Cost metrics are sent to DataDog every 60 seconds by default, providing near real-time visibility. You can adjust the interval from 30 seconds to 5 minutes based on your monitoring requirements and DataDog usage.
