Details

The Datadog API uses resource-oriented URLs, uses status codes to indicate the success or failure of requests and returns JSON from all requests. With this method you can post counters, gauges to measure the value of a particular thing over time and rates that represent the derivative of a metric, it’s the value variation of a metric on a defined time interval.
