Datadog for ClickUp

The Datadog integration for ClickUp lets you stream performance, usage, and error data into your Datadog account so your team can monitor how ClickUp is behaving in real time. This how-to guide walks you through enabling the integration, connecting your Datadog account, and using observability data to troubleshoot issues.

What the ClickUp Datadog integration does

When you activate the Datadog integration, ClickUp sends telemetry data and logs directly to your Datadog environment. This gives your technical and operations teams visibility into how your workspace is performing.

With this integration, you can:

• Monitor ClickUp API performance, errors, and request volume.
• Track latency and response times for key ClickUp operations.
• Set alerts in Datadog when ClickUp behavior crosses thresholds.
• Correlate ClickUp incidents with the rest of your observability stack.

The integration is designed for teams that already use Datadog and want to centralize monitoring and troubleshooting.

Requirements before you connect ClickUp

Before turning on the Datadog integration in ClickUp, make sure you have the following:

• An active ClickUp Workspace.
• Admin or owner permissions in that Workspace.
• An active Datadog account with permissions to create or manage API keys.

You should also be comfortable navigating the Datadog interface, especially the pages for logs, dashboards, and API keys.

How to enable the ClickUp Datadog integration

Use the steps below to connect your Workspace to Datadog and start streaming data.

Step 1: Open ClickUp integrations settings

1. Sign in to your ClickUp Workspace.
2. Open the Workspace settings from the main sidebar.
3. Navigate to the section that lists available integrations and apps.
4. Locate the Datadog integration card.

Only Workspace owners or admins can turn on this integration and manage its configuration.

Step 2: Connect ClickUp to your Datadog account

Once you have opened the Datadog integration card, follow these steps to link the two systems.

1. Click the option to enable or configure the Datadog integration.
2. In a separate browser tab, open your Datadog account.
3. Generate or locate a Datadog API key that you want to use for ClickUp data.
4. Copy the API key from Datadog.
5. Paste the API key into the Datadog integration settings in ClickUp.
6. Select the Datadog site or region that matches your account, such as US or EU.
7. Save the integration settings.

After you save, ClickUp validates the connection using the Datadog API key. If the key or region is incorrect, you will see an error and need to update the settings.

Step 3: Confirm data is flowing from ClickUp to Datadog

When the connection is successful, ClickUp starts sending telemetry data to Datadog. To confirm this, check Datadog directly.

1. In Datadog, open the logs or events section.
2. Filter for sources or services related to ClickUp data.
3. Trigger a few actions in your Workspace, such as opening pages or running common workflows.
4. Refresh the Datadog view to see new events and metrics arriving from ClickUp.

If you do not see any data after several minutes, verify the following:

• The Datadog integration is enabled in your Workspace settings.
• The API key in ClickUp is active and has not been revoked.
• The selected Datadog region matches your Datadog account.

How to use ClickUp data inside Datadog

Once logs and metrics from ClickUp are visible, you can begin building observability assets inside Datadog.

Create dashboards with ClickUp signals

Use Datadog dashboards to visualize how ClickUp is performing for your organization.

1. Open the dashboards section in Datadog.
2. Create a new dashboard or edit an existing one used for productivity tools.
3. Add widgets that display key metrics captured from ClickUp, such as:

• Request latency
• Error rates
• Throughput or request counts by endpoint

Arrange widgets so that your team can quickly inspect the overall health of ClickUp alongside other services.

Set alerts based on ClickUp behavior

Proactive alerting helps you stay ahead of issues that might impact your team’s work in ClickUp.

1. Navigate to the monitors or alerts section in Datadog.
2. Create a new alert that targets metrics or logs sourced from ClickUp.
3. Define your thresholds, such as high error rates or timeouts.
4. Configure notification channels, like email, Slack, or incident management tools.
5. Save and test the alert to confirm it triggers when ClickUp metrics match your criteria.

This approach lets operations and support teams respond faster when ClickUp slows down or experiences errors in your region.

Investigate ClickUp incidents using logs

When users report issues, Datadog logs from ClickUp help identify root causes.

1. Open the logs explorer in Datadog.
2. Filter logs by timeframe matching the reported issue.
3. Apply filters for ClickUp services, users, or endpoints if those labels are available.
4. Drill into specific events to examine stack traces or error messages.

By correlating logs from ClickUp with infrastructure data, you can determine whether problems are service-side, network-related, or caused by another dependency.

Manage and disable the ClickUp Datadog integration

You can adjust or remove the connection at any time from your Workspace settings.

Edit integration settings

To change how ClickUp connects to Datadog:

1. Return to the integrations section in your Workspace settings.
2. Open the Datadog integration.
3. Update the Datadog API key, region, or any other configuration options available.
4. Save your changes to apply the new settings.

After updating, confirm that logs and metrics are still being received in Datadog.

Disable the Datadog integration for ClickUp

If you no longer want to send data from ClickUp to Datadog:

1. Open the Datadog integration card inside your Workspace settings.
2. Use the toggle or disable option to turn off the integration.
3. Save your changes.

Once disabled, ClickUp stops sending data to Datadog. Existing data already stored in Datadog is unaffected and remains available for analysis or historical reporting.

Best practices for using Datadog with ClickUp

To get the most value out of this integration, consider the following practices:

• Limit API keys used for ClickUp to those dedicated to this integration.
• Document which Datadog dashboards include metrics from ClickUp so your team knows where to look.
• Regularly review alert thresholds so they accurately reflect normal and abnormal behavior.
• Combine ClickUp telemetry with infrastructure metrics to see how capacity changes affect performance.
