Datadog Backup

Rspec and Release Gem Version

Use datadog_backup to backup your datadog account. Currently supports

  • dashboards
  • monitors

Additional features may be built out over time.

v3 Migration

Breaking Changes

v3 is a backwards incompatible change.

  • DATADOG_API_KEY and DATADOG_APP_KEY are no longer the environment variables used to authenticate to Datadog. Instead, set the environment variables DD_API_KEY and DD_APP_KEY.
  • ruby 2.7 is no longer supported. Please upgrade to ruby 3.0 or higher.
  • The options --ssh and --ssshh are no longer supported. Instead, please use --quiet to supress logging. --debug remains supported.
  • The environment variable DATADOG_HOST is no longer supported. Instead, please use DD_SITE_URL.
