Datadog v4.51.0 published on Wednesday, Jun 11, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-datadog

    Provides a Datadog metric_metadata resource. This can be used to manage a metric’s metadata.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as datadog from "@pulumi/datadog";

// Manage a Datadog metric's metadata
const requestTime = new datadog.MetricMetadata("request_time", {
    metric: "request.time",
    shortName: "Request time",
    description: "99th percentile request time in milliseconds",
    type: "gauge",
    unit: "millisecond",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_datadog as datadog

# Manage a Datadog metric's metadata
request_time = datadog.MetricMetadata("request_time",
    metric="request.time",
    short_name="Request time",
    description="99th percentile request time in milliseconds",
    type="gauge",
    unit="millisecond")

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-datadog/sdk/v4/go/datadog"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		// Manage a Datadog metric's metadata
		_, err := datadog.NewMetricMetadata(ctx, "request_time", &datadog.MetricMetadataArgs{
			Metric:      pulumi.String("request.time"),
			ShortName:   pulumi.String("Request time"),
			Description: pulumi.String("99th percentile request time in milliseconds"),
			Type:        pulumi.String("gauge"),
			Unit:        pulumi.String("millisecond"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Datadog = Pulumi.Datadog;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() =>
