# Datadog integration **(FREE)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/270123) in GitLab 14.1
This integration enables you to send CI/CD pipeline and job information to
[Datadog](https://www.datadoghq.com/). Datadog's [CI Visibility](https://app.datadoghq.com/ci)
product helps you monitor for job failures and performance issues, then troubleshoot them.
It's based on [Webhooks](../user/project/integrations/webhooks.md),
and only requires configuration on GitLab.
## Configure the integration
Users with the **Administrator** role can configure the integration at the
project, group, or instance level:
1. If you do not have a Datadog API key:
1. Sign in to Datadog.
1. Go to the **Integrations** section.
1. Generate an API key in the [APIs tab](https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api).
Copy this value, as you need it in a later step.
1. *For project-level or group-level integrations:* In GitLab, go to your project or group.
1. *For instance-level integrations:*
1. Sign in to GitLab as a user with the [Administrator role](../user/permissions.md).
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
1. Scroll to **Add an integration**, and select **Datadog**.
1. Select **Active** to enable the integration.
1. Specify the [**Datadog site**](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/) to send data to.
1. (Optional) To override the API URL used to send data directly, provide an **API URL**.
Used only in advanced scenarios.
1. Provide your Datadog **API key**.
1. (Optional) If you use more than one GitLab instance, provide a unique **Service** name
to differentiate between your GitLab instances.
1. (Optional) If you use groups of GitLab instances (such as staging and production
environments), provide an **Env** name. This value is attached to each span
the integration generates.
1. (Optional) Select **Test settings** to test your integration.
1. Select **Save changes**.
When the integration sends data, you can view it in the [CI Visibility](https://app.datadoghq.com/ci)
section of your Datadog account.
