Last updated 1 month ago

The Finout-Datadog integration offers multiple levels, granting users the flexibility to choose from diverse Finout features and supported Datadog products available at each level. Each level requires different . To gain all Datadog capabilities and features in Finout, ‘not scoped’ key is required.

Basic Datadog Integration

Finout’s most basic offering. Add your Datadog’s product cost to Finout’s MegaBill with breakdowns by, sub-products, regions, and organizations.

Finout supports all Datadog products.

Required scopes: usage_read

Note: For the basic Datadog integration, having keys for the is mandatory. However, for enhanced integrations, API keys for all multiple are required.

Enhanced Datadog Integration- Cost Per Tag Visibility

With this advanced integration level, you can add cost-per-tag visibility to the Finout MegaBill. By incorporating product tags, you can access a more comprehensive breakdown of your Datadog Logs and Timeseries products, facilitating precise cost attribution to these services.

Two groups of tags can be added to Finout:

  • Default Datadog set of tags per product

    For example, the tags for Indexed Log- "service", "status", "datadog_index"

    Required scopes: metrics_read, timeseries_query

  • Custom tags set by the customer

    Customers have the freedom to set their own custom tags. Our process is designed to dynamically resolve tag values based on customer specifications. In cases where resolution is unsuccessful, Finout utilizes its default tag set as a fallback option.

    Required scopes: not scoped

Note: For Timeseries products, only the metric_name tag is available.

Enhanced Datadog Integration - CostGuard

Finout enables you to effortlessly access out-of-the-box actionable cost optimizations and insights for your Datadog usage via the CostGuard product.

Required scopes: monitor_read, dashboard_read

Enhanced Datadog Integration- Kubernetes Cost and Unit Metrics

Required scopes: not scoped

- View Datadog’s products in Finout’s MegaBill with breakdowns by usage type (committed / on-demand cost), products, and organization.

- Out-of-the-box actionable cost optimizations for Idle Synthetics. Note: Currently, the default integration is Usage Attribution Tags for new Datadog cost centers created since April 2025. For cot centers created before that, the default integration remains Custom Tags, and they should contact Finout support at to transition to .
