Why teams connect Datadog and MarkLogic

Keep MarkLogic and Datadog in step: the rows in your database and the Dashboards, Metrics, Incidents, Service Level Objectives your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

MarkLogic is where your application's durable data lives; Datadog is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs TDE Views, Document Metadata & Properties, Databases & Forests, Users & Roles in MarkLogic with Dashboards, Metrics, Incidents, Service Level Objectives in Datadog field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync curated master data from a MarkLogic data hub into operational CRMs and ERPs.
  • 02 Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
  • 03 Publish deploy and pipeline Events, and submit custom Metrics, into Datadog from CI/CD or a data pipeline to enrich dashboards and correlation.
  • 04 Load Events and Incidents into a warehouse to correlate deploys, alerts, and outages on one timeline for post-incident review.

Common sync patterns

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Datadog arrive in MarkLogic as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in MarkLogic and Stacksync keeps Datadog current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Datadog arrive as row changes in MarkLogic, and writes to MarkLogic propagate to Datadog within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

What you can sync between Datadog and MarkLogic

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Datadog objects MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
Events The event stream (deploys, alerts, comments) searched via the v2 Events endpoint and posted via POST /api/v1/events; used to correlate deploy and incident timelines or to publish deploy and pipeline events into Datadog. Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Events is specific to Datadog and Documents to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via the v1 Dashboards API with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit, or created and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Dashboards is specific to Datadog and Collections to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Time-series metrics queried in aggregate windows through the query API and submitted via POST /api/v1/series; individual raw points cannot be extracted beyond retention. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Metrics is specific to Datadog and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Incidents Incident records from the v2 Incidents API with full CRUD, including status and timeline fields; landed in a database for MTTR reporting or created and updated from an external incident workflow. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Incidents is specific to Datadog and TDE Views to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Service Level Objectives SLO definitions and status history via the v1 SLO API with full CRUD; read out for reliability and error-budget reporting, or provisioned and updated from a reliability config. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Service Level Objectives is specific to Datadog and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hosts Infrastructure host inventory with tags and metadata from the v1 host list API; loaded into a CMDB or warehouse for asset tracking, and hosts can be muted or unmuted via the API. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Hosts is specific to Datadog and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Datadog and MarkLogic

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Datadog MarkLogic Sub-second propagation

DetectionDatadog notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor).

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MarkLogic as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MarkLogic Datadog Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Datadog through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Datadog: Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.

How the Datadog and MarkLogic connectors work

Datadog

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2)
Authentication
API key (DD-API-KEY) plus an Application key (DD-APPLICATION-KEY) sent as request headers; application keys are tied to the creating user and inherit that user's permissions and authorization scopes.
Change detection
Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor); monitor alerts can also push via the Webhooks notification integration. No modified-date CDC on mutable objects.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.

MarkLogic

Integration surface
REST API (Client API), plus SQL/ODBC access over TDE views and Java/Node client libraries
Authentication
Username/password (digest or basic), with certificate-based options
Change detection
No exposed transaction log; polling on document timestamps/metadata, or server-side triggers that record changes for pickup
Capabilities
