Datadog to Snowflake Integration

How Datrise loads Datadog into Snowflake

Datrise syncs Datadog's metrics, monitors, events, logs, dashboards, and incidents into Snowflake as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in VARIANT columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as TIMESTAMP_TZ.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses staged loads merged on stable id with MERGE, so credits scale with change volume, not table size, so re-runs update only what changed. Automatic micro-partitioning, with optional clustering keys on high-cardinality ids. Snowflake upper-cases unquoted identifiers, so Datrise standardizes on lower-case quoted names to keep column references stable.

Ideal for central analytics warehouses feeding BI and AI workloads.

Endpoints

Datadog: Infrastructure monitoring, logs, and alerting.

Snowflake: Cloud data warehouse with separated compute and storage.

How Datadog entities map to Snowflake

Datadog entity	Snowflake object	Notes
metrics	`datadog_metrics`	id PK · custom fields → VARIANT columns
monitors	`datadog_monitors`	id PK · linked to datadog_metrics
events	`datadog_events`	TIMESTAMP_TZ events
logs	`datadog_logs`	id PK · linked to datadog_metrics

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Datadog's custom fields in Snowflake?

Flexible values are stored as VARIANT columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Snowflake types.

How does the Datadog to Snowflake sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses staged loads merged on stable id with MERGE, so credits scale with change volume, not table size.
