Why teams connect Datadog and Microsoft 365

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Microsoft 365 to the systems engineering runs in Datadog, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Microsoft 365 is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Datadog is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Groups, Mail Messages, Calendar Events, Contacts in Microsoft 365 with Metrics, Incidents, Service Level Objectives, Hosts in Datadog field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep CRM contacts and Microsoft 365 contacts aligned in both directions.
  • 02 Sync employee records from an HR system into Entra ID users and group memberships.
  • 03 Pull the Hosts inventory into a CMDB or database for asset tracking, tag hygiene, and cost allocation across teams.
  • 04 Sync Monitors and their alert state into Postgres so reliability teams query alert history and noisy-monitor trends in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Where Datadog is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Microsoft 365 stay matched to the users in Datadog, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Datadog watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Microsoft 365 replicate into Datadog, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

What you can sync between Datadog and Microsoft 365

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 Microsoft 365 objects How this pairing syncs
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. Teams Team and membership data provisioned from upstream systems. Dashboards is specific to Datadog and Teams to Microsoft 365 — 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. Planner & To Do Tasks Task items synced with project and work-management tools. Metrics is specific to Datadog and Planner & To Do Tasks to Microsoft 365 — 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. Users Entra ID user accounts synced with HR and identity systems. Incidents is specific to Datadog and Users to Microsoft 365 — 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. Groups Microsoft 365 and security groups kept aligned with org structure and access rules. Service Level Objectives is specific to Datadog and Groups to Microsoft 365 — 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. Mail Messages Exchange Online messages read for logging, archiving, or activity capture. Hosts is specific to Datadog and Mail Messages to Microsoft 365 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Monitors Alert definitions with query, thresholds, and current state via the v1 Monitors API, which supports full create, update, and delete; Stacksync reads alert state into a warehouse or provisions and updates monitors from a config source. Calendar Events Events synced with scheduling tools and CRMs for meeting visibility. Monitors is specific to Datadog and Calendar Events to Microsoft 365 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Datadog and Microsoft 365

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 Microsoft 365 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 written to Microsoft 365 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Microsoft 365 Datadog Sub-second propagation

DetectionMicrosoft 365 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Graph change notifications (webhooks) plus delta queries for incremental sync.

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 Microsoft 365 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.
