Dynamic monitoring configuration

The runtime configuration interface lets you manage monitoring connections on-the-fly.

Accessing the configuration interface

Navigate to Administration → Monitoring:

Monitoring overview showing list of existing configurations

Adding a monitoring platform

Click the plus icon in the bottom-right corner and complete the configuration form with your monitoring platform details:

New monitoring configuration form with Datadog-specific fields

General fields

  • Configuration name (required): Unique name for the configuration.

  • Monitoring system (required): Target platform. Available options: OTLP, DATADOG, PROMETHEUS.

  • Service name / System environment: Optional labels used for filtering and dashboards on the target platform.

  • Export interval, Connection timeout, Read timeout: Time values in seconds (s). Defaults: 10 s / 10 s / 30 s.

  • API endpoint (required): URL of the target platform's metrics endpoint.

  • API key (required): Authentication token for the API endpoint.

Platform-specific fields

Depending on the selected Monitoring system, additional fields are displayed:

  • DATADOG: Application key (required) and Host tag (required).

  • PROMETHEUS: Prometheus token—generated automatically when the configuration is created.

 WARNING The Prometheus token is only visible during creation. Copy it immediately and store it in a secure location—it cannot be retrieved later.

Click Apply to activate the new monitoring configuration. Metrics will begin flowing to your monitoring platform within seconds.

Managing configurations

  • Add/Edit: Modify any configuration and save. The connection restarts automatically with the new settings.

  • Delete: Remove a configuration to stop exporting to that platform.

NOTE All changes take effect immediately without requiring an application restart or affecting other active configurations.
