Datadog query validator

Python script to validate a monitor query through Datadog API using Datadog Python Library.

Installing

In order to run a validation you will need a Datadog API key and an Application key from your Datadog account. See Datadog documentation for more information about how to get them.

Then install Datadog Python Library:

pip install datadog

Create a config.json file from the template:

cp config.dist.json config.json

Replace the placeholders in the config.json with your API and Application key, and add the query information you want to validate.

Running

With the config.json and the installation ready, in your terminal, run the following command:

python validate.py
