Table: datadog_dashboard - Query Datadog Dashboards using SQL

Datadog Dashboards are an essential feature of the Datadog monitoring service, allowing users to visualize, analyze, and correlate data from different sources in one place. Dashboards can be customized to display data from various infrastructure components, applications, and services, providing a unified view of the system's performance and health. They are instrumental in identifying patterns, troubleshooting issues, and making data-driven decisions.

  title as dashboard_title,
  dr.users as role_users
from
  datadog_dashboard as dashboard,
  jsonb_array_elements_text(restricted_roles) as role,
  datadog_role as dr
where
  dr.id = role;

select
  dashboard.id,
  title as dashboard_title,

from
  datadog_dashboard as dashboard,
  json_each(restricted_roles) as role,
  datadog_role as dr
where
  dr.id = role.value;

  title,
  is_read_only
from
  datadog_dashboard
where
  is_read_only;

select

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- datadog

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_datadog --config '<your_config>' datadog_dashboard
