Why teams connect Datadog and RavenDB

Keep RavenDB and Datadog in step: the rows in your database and the Logs, Events, Dashboards, Metrics your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

RavenDB 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 Documents, Collections, Indexes, Attachments in RavenDB with Logs, Events, Dashboards, Metrics 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 operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.
  • 02 Mirror reference data from relational systems into RavenDB collections that serve application reads.
  • 03 Load Events and Incidents into a warehouse to correlate deploys, alerts, and outages on one timeline for post-incident review.
  • 04 Pull the Hosts inventory into a CMDB or database for asset tracking, tag hygiene, and cost allocation across teams.

Common sync patterns

Where Datadog manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Datadog stay matched to the users or owners table in RavenDB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in RavenDB creates or updates the matching record in Datadog, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

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

What you can sync between Datadog and RavenDB

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 RavenDB 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. Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets Events is specific to Datadog and Collections to RavenDB — 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. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Dashboards is specific to Datadog and Indexes to RavenDB — 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. Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Metrics is specific to Datadog and Attachments to RavenDB — 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. Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication Incidents is specific to Datadog and Revisions to RavenDB — 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. Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body Service Level Objectives is specific to Datadog and Counters to RavenDB — 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. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis Hosts is specific to Datadog and Time series to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Datadog and RavenDB

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 RavenDB 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 RavenDB through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

RavenDB Datadog Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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.
  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Datadog and RavenDB 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.

RavenDB

Integration surface
HTTP REST API with official clients (.NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and others)
Authentication
X.509 client certificates on secured servers, instead of username and password
Change detection
data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds
Capabilities
