Palfred + Datadog.

Why connect Datadog to Palfred?

Datadog provides infrastructure monitoring, APM, and log management for engineering teams running modern applications. When something looks wrong — latency spikes, error rates climbing, or a service going down — the first discussion happens in Slack. Palfred brings Datadog's monitoring data into that discussion so your team can triage faster with real data, not guesswork.

With the Palfred Datadog integration, engineers can check the status of any monitor, pull key metrics for a service, and get dashboard summaries directly from Slack. When an alert fires, Palfred can provide the relevant context — which monitor triggered, the current metric values, and the historical trend. No more opening Datadog in a new tab while everyone waits in the incident channel. The data is right there in the conversation.

For SRE teams and engineering managers, this integration provides operational awareness without constant dashboard watching. Ask Palfred for the current status of all monitors, the latency trend for a specific service, or a summary of alerts triggered in the past 24 hours. During incidents, Palfred can pull graphs and metric snapshots into the Slack thread, creating a real-time record that doubles as documentation for the post-mortem.
