Actions
Post Timeseries Points
The module allows you to post time-series data that can be graphed on Datadog’s dashboards.
The limit for compressed payloads is 3.2 megabytes (3200000), and 62 megabytes (62914560) for decompressed payloads.
Add time series you want to submit to Datadog.
-
Metric
Enter the name of the timeseries.
-
Type
Select the type of the metric.
-
Interval
If the type of the metric is rate or count, define the corresponding interval.
-
Points
Add points relating to a metric.
This is a JSON array of points. Each point has the format:
[[POSIX_timestamp, numeric_value], ...]Note:
The timestamp must be in seconds.
The timestamp must be current. Current is defined as not more than 10 minutes in the future or more than 1 hour in the past.
The numeric value format should be a float value.
This field must contain at least 1 item.

Host
Enter the name of the host that produced the metric.
Make an API Call
This action module allows you to perform a custom API call.
https://api.datadoghq.com/api/. Example: /v1/org.Add the headers of the request in the form of a standard JSON object.
For example, {"Content-type":"application/json"}
Workfront Fusion adds the authorization headers for you.
Add the query for the API call in the form of a standard JSON object.
For example: {"name":"something-urgent"}
Add the body content for the API call in the form of a standard JSON object.
Note:
When using conditional statements such as if in your JSON, put the quotation marks outside of the conditional statement.
Example: The following API call returns the all dashboards in your Datadog account:
URL: /v1/dashboard
Method: GET
The result can be found in the module’s Output under Bundle > Body > dashboards.
In our example, 3 dashboards were returned:
