You can import an existing Datadog dashboard into Better Stack using AI SRE.

Import from a JSON file

1. In Datadog, open the dashboard you want to import.
2. From the dashboard menu, select Export dashboard JSON.
3. Open a new chat with AI SRE.
4. Paste the exported JSON into the message box and ask AI SRE to import it. For example: "Import this Datadog dashboard and name it 'API Health'."

AI SRE will parse the JSON, convert the Datadog metric expressions into ClickHouse queries, and create a new dashboard with the corresponding charts in Better Stack. You can then review and modify the imported dashboard as needed.

Pasting long texts

Pasting long text into the chat will automatically upload it as a text attachment instead of inlining it in the message.

Import via the Datadog integration

If you have the Datadog integration connected, AI SRE can access your Datadog dashboards directly. Ask it to "recreate my 'API Health' dashboard from Datadog," and it will fetch the dashboard details and metrics to build a new dashboard in Better Stack without needing a JSON export.

Seeing differences in the dashboard?

Not all widgets translate perfectly. Datadog has many widget types that may not have a direct equivalent in Better Stack. AI SRE will make a best-effort conversion, but you should review the imported dashboard.

Complex Datadog dashboards with template variables or multi-account scoping may require manual adjustments after import.
