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. Drag and drop the exported JSON file into the message box, or paste its contents, and ask AI SRE to import it. For example: "Import this Datadog dashboard and name it 'API Health'."

AI SRE parses the JSON, converts the Datadog metric expressions into ClickHouse queries, and creates 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 automatically uploads 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 fetches the dashboard details and metrics to build a new dashboard in Better Stack without a JSON export.

Seeing differences in the dashboard?

Charts and visualization options differ between Datadog and Better Stack, so not all widget types have a direct equivalent. AI SRE makes a best-effort conversion, but you may need to perform manual adjustments after the import.
