Datadog - Upstash QStash Integration

This guide walks you through connecting your Datadog account with Upstash QStash for monitoring and analytics of your message delivery, retries, DLQ, and schedules.

​

Step 1: Log in to Your Datadog Account

1. Go to Datadog and sign in.

​

Step 2: Install Upstash Application

1. In Datadog, open the Integrations page.
2. Search for “Upstash” and open the integration.

Click “Install” to add Upstash to your Datadog account.

​

Step 3: Connect Accounts

After installing Upstash, click “Connect Accounts”. Datadog will redirect you to Upstash to complete account linking.

​

Step 4: Select Account to Integrate

1. On Upstash, select the Datadog account to integrate.
2. Personal and team accounts are supported.

Caveats

• The integration can be established once at a time. To change the account scope (e.g., add/remove teams), re-establish the integration from scratch.

​

Step 5: Wait for Metrics Availability

Once the integration is completed, metrics from QStash (publish counts, success/error rates, retries, DLQ, schedule executions) will start appearing in Datadog dashboards shortly.

​

Step 6: Datadog Integration Removal Process

From Datadog → Integrations → Upstash, press “Remove” to break the connection.

​

Confirm Removal

Upstash will stop publishing metrics after removal. Ensure any Datadog API keys/configurations for this integration are also removed on the Datadog side.
