Generate an API key

  1. Navigate to the API Keys section under Integrations > APIs or visit Datadog API Settings
  2. Click the ‘Create API key’ button and give it a name, like cased
  3. Enter the generated API key for on Cased at preview.cased.com/connections/datadog.

Generate an application key

  1. In the same API Keys section, scroll down to the Application Keys
  2. Click the ‘Create Application Key’ button
  3. Provide a name for the application key and select the desired user.
  4. Enter the generated Application key on Cased at preview.cased.com/connections/datadog
