# Datadog APM Plugin
The `datadog` APM plugin allows using [time series][datadog_timeseries] data
from [Datadog][datadog_homepage] to make scaling decisions.
## Agent Configuration Options
```hcl
apm "datadog" {
driver = "datadog"
config = {
dd_api_key = "<api key>"
dd_app_key = "<app key>"
}
}
```
- `dd_api_key` `(string: <required>)` - The Datadog API key to use for
authentication.
- `dd_app_key` `(string: <required>)` - The Datadog application key to use for
authentication.
The Datadog plugin can also read its configuration options via environment
variables. The accepted keys are `DD_API_KEY` and `DD_APP_KEY`. The agent
configuration parameters take precedence over the environment variables.
## Policy Configuration Options
```hcl
check {
source = "datadog"
query = "avg:proxy.backend.response.time{proxy-service:web-app}"
# ...
}
```
