Trusted by teams where Datadog spend is mission-critical
Connect in minutes
One API key. Full Datadog visibility.
Connect your Datadog organization with a read-only API and application key. DCI pulls usage, billing, and ingestion metrics automatically — no agents to deploy, no custom exporters, no changes to your monitors. You're reviewing unified Datadog reports within hours of connecting.
What you get
Built for the realities of running on Datadog
The things FinOps and engineering leaders actually ask us for when they connect their Datadog organization.
Unified usage reporting
Slice Datadog spend by product, sub-org, tag, or team without stitching together CSV exports from the usage page.
Ingestion anomalies
Get alerted when log or custom metric volume spikes, in minutes.
High-cardinality metrics
Pinpoint the custom metrics and tags inflating your bill and act on them.
Commitment coverage
Track on-demand overages against your annual Datadog commit.
Log retention visibility
Surface the indexes, retention tiers, and exclusion filters driving log cost so you can tune them without flying blind.
Governance and budgets
Set budgets per team and product SKU without chasing tag hygiene.
The Usage page tells you what you consumed. Cloud Intelligence™ helps you do something about it.
Beyond the Datadog Usage page
Multi-org rollups
Consolidated views across all Datadog sub-organizations, with drilldown into any product, environment, or team.
Real-time anomaly alerts
Machine-learning detection on ingestion, host counts, and custom metrics, routed to Slack or email.
Commitment planning
Model your next Datadog contract against actual usage trends before you sign a new commit.
Tag and allocation hygiene
Find unallocated usage, enforce tagging rules, and split shared Datadog spend the way finance expects.
Kubernetes cost allocation
Break down Datadog host and container spend by cluster, namespace, and workload alongside your infra costs.
Forward Deployed Engineers
World-class cloud architects who work as an extension of your team to implement Datadog optimizations.

Frequently asked
questions
How do I get better visibility into Datadog costs across multiple sub-organizations?
Connect your parent Datadog org once. Cloud Intelligence™ ingests usage and billing data for every sub-org, so you can slice spend by product, tag, environment, or team from a single view — no manual exports from the Usage page.
What's the best way to integrate Datadog usage data with Cloud Intelligence™?
Generate a read-only API key and application key in Datadog and paste them into DCI. We handle ingestion, normalization, and daily-granularity reporting. Most teams are live in under an hour.
How can I see which Datadog products or teams drive most of my spend?
Usage reports let you drill from total Datadog spend down to a specific product SKU, sub-org, host, or custom metric. You can filter by tags, environments, or services without writing queries.
How can I monitor Datadog cost anomalies in real-time?
Anomaly detection runs continuously across ingestion, host counts, indexed logs, and custom metrics. When volume spikes, you get a Slack or email alert with the likely driver — before it lands on your invoice.
How can I control high-cardinality custom metrics and log ingestion?
DCI surfaces the top custom metrics and log sources by cost, highlights high-cardinality tags, and flags sudden growth so you can tune exclusion filters, retention, and instrumentation where it actually matters.
How can I track usage against my annual Datadog commitment?
DCI tracks on-demand overages against your committed usage in real time, forecasts end-of-term spend, and helps you model the right commit size for your next renewal based on actual consumption patterns.
How is Cloud Intelligence™ different from Datadog's own Cloud Cost Management?
Datadog CCM focuses on your cloud provider bills inside Datadog. Cloud Intelligence™ covers the other direction: your Datadog bill itself, alongside AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and other SaaS spend, with anomaly detection, governance, and forward deployed engineers who help you act on it.
Is my data secure when I connect my Datadog organization?
DCI uses read-only Datadog API and application keys scoped to usage and billing endpoints. We never modify monitors, dashboards, or pipelines, and the platform is SOC 2 Type II certified.
