A new integration between Temporal Cloud and Datadog is set to enhance the monitoring and optimization of Temporal Workflows by providing pre-built metrics dashboards and simplified setup. This integration allows users to access a Temporal Cloud metrics dashboard within Datadog, offering insights into system health and Workflow efficiency with minimal effort. By using a crawler-based approach to fetch metrics directly from Temporal Cloud’s Prometheus endpoints via REST APIs, this integration eliminates the need for a PromQL-to-Datadog scraper, reducing complexity and maintenance. Additionally, the integration provides cost-saving opportunities as the Temporal Cloud metrics are classified as standard, avoiding extra charges typically associated with custom metrics ingestion. It includes out-of-the-box dashboards, proactive alerts for critical metrics, and granular insights tagged with attributes like namespace and operation type. Setting up the integration is straightforward, requiring configuration of the Temporal Cloud Prometheus endpoint URL within Datadog and secure authentication through certificate upload.
