The Datadog integration requires two fields:

* URL (For example: **datadoghq.com** or **datadoghq.eu**)
* API Key

To retrieve an API Key, please follow the below instructions

* In the Datadog interface, go to **Organization Settings** > **API Keys**
* Create a new API key

Ensure that your API Key matches up with the destination server where your Datadog environment is hosted.
