How to set up Datadog

This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up a Datadog Service, enabling you to easily view Fabric Metrics. You can use the API Key and Application Key Details in the following POST fabric/v4/streamSubscriptions request.

curl -X POST
'https://api.equinix.com/fabric/v4/streamSubscriptions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <bearer_token>' \
--data '{
"type": "STREAM_SUBSCRIPTION",
"name": "<datadog_subscription_name>",
"description": "<datadog_subscription_desc>",
"stream": {

},
"sink": {

}
}'</datadog_application_key></datadog_api_key></datadog_host></stream_id></datadog_subscription_desc></datadog_subscription_name></bearer_token>
