This Action lets you send events and metrics to Datadog from a GitHub workflow.
Important
The action can send metrics and events to any Datadog site by setting the api-url param. When
omitted, it defaults to the US endpoint: https://api.datadoghq.com.
Please note how metrics is defined as a string containing YAML code - this
allows to send more than one metric at once if needed. To send one metric,
configure a job step like the following:
- name: Build count
uses: masci/datadog@v1
with:
api-key: ${{ secrets.DATADOG_API_KEY }}
metrics: |
- type: "count"
name: "test.runs.count"
value: 1.0
host: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
tags:
- "project:${{ github.repository }}"
- "branch:${{ github.head_ref }}"You can also send Datadog events from workflows, same as metric please note
how events is indeed a string containing YAML code. For example, an use case
might be sending an event when a job has failed:
steps:
- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: build
run: this-will-fail
- name: Datadog
if: failure()
uses: masci/datadog@v1
with:
api-key: ${{ secrets.DATADOG_API_KEY }}
events: |
- title: "Failed building Foo"
text: "Branch ${{ github.head_ref }} failed to build"
alert_type: "error"
host: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
tags:
- "project:${{ github.repository }}"You can also send Datadog service checks from workflows, same as others please note
how service-checks is indeed a string containing YAML code. For example, an use case
might be sending when a job has failed:
steps:
- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: build
run: this-will-fail
- name: Datadog
if: failure()
uses: masci/datadog@v1
with:
api-key: ${{ secrets.DATADOG_API_KEY }}
service-checks: |
- check: "app.ok"
message: "Branch ${{ github.head_ref }} failed to build"
status: 0
host_name: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
tags:
- "project:${{ github.repository }}"You can also send Datadog logs from workflows, same as others please note
how logs is indeed a string containing YAML code. For example, an use case
might be sending when a job has failed:
steps:
- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: build
run: this-will-fail
- name: Datadog
if: failure()
uses: masci/datadog@v1
with:
api-key: ${{ secrets.DATADOG_API_KEY }}

✓ api-key input param must be set (3 ms)
✓ default api endpoint URL (1 ms)
✓ custom api endpoint URL
✓ run calls the sending functions (1 ms)
end-to-end tests
✓ actually sends data to the backend when DD_API_KEY env var is set
...
Ran all test suites.When the DD_API_KEY env var is set with a valid API Key, the tests will also perform an actual call sending some metrics, events and service checks.
