Your Datadog bill hides the waste. Cloudgov.ai finds it.
Read only and agentic. Connect your Datadog organization once and let Cloudgov.ai turn host counts, custom metric cardinality, log ingestion, and APM usage into continuous FinOps outcomes.
Waste identified across underused hosts, high cardinality custom metrics, log verbosity, and APM coverage overrun this quarter.
Every Datadog SKU, continuously optimized
From host consolidation to custom metric hygiene, log volume management to APM sampling. Cloudgov.ai's agentic AI reads your Datadog usage, surfaces the wins, and executes with human in the loop guardrails.
Identify underused hosts, redundant agents, and containers with no useful telemetry. Recommend consolidation and agent removal where hosts have zero business value being monitored.
Every custom metric priced. Identify high cardinality metrics with no dashboards or alerts, and prune the ones nobody uses. Cap cardinality per team before overage lands.
Detect verbose loggers, dead log streams, and redundant log lines being indexed twice. Route noisy logs to archive tier and index only what your team actually queries.
Identify services with over aggressive tracing rates and workloads paying for full traces on health checks. Tune sampling per service to keep signal, drop noise.
Learns your org's normal usage pattern per SKU, per team. Catches runaway metric emitters, misconfigured integrations, and forgotten agents before end of month.
Virtual tagging via host tags, team tags, or service names. Attribute every dollar of Datadog spend to a team, product, or business unit, cleanly.
Connect once. Optimize continuously.
Under 15 minutes to full read only access across your Datadog org. No metric or log data ever leaves Datadog.
Generate a read only API key and application key in Datadog with usage_read scope. Cloudgov.ai reads only usage metadata, never metric or log content.
Enable Usage Attribution in your Datadog org and give Cloudgov.ai read access. Tag your hosts and services so attribution can roll up cleanly.
Activate BillingShield to route your Datadog invoice, and MulticloudShield to unify Datadog spend alongside your cloud and AI bill.
Read only. FOCUS native. Agentic, not just analytical.
Read only, always
Cloudgov.ai never writes to or mutates your AWS accounts. Actions land as tickets, IaC diffs, or approvals in your existing workflow.
FOCUS native
Ingests the FinOps Open Cost & Usage Spec directly. Add Azure, GCP, and OpenAI later without re modeling anything.
Agentic outcomes
Findings flow into policy, approvals, tickets, and chargeback. Not another dashboard. Real actions with real audit trails.
The Datadog integration unlocks four Shields
Each Shield is an autonomous domain of FinOps outcomes. Turn them on independently, or run all four together for full AWS coverage.
Route your Datadog invoices through Cloudgov.ai. Unlock 2 to 5% back on every dollar and 30 day payment terms, no architecture changes.
Datadog commitment tiers managed per org. Continuous coverage optimization, drawdown forecasting, and expiration alerts before they hurt.
Per host, per service, and per team cost allocation across every Datadog SKU. Usage attribution, sampling policies, and log volume visibility.
Unified visibility, allocation, and optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP on the FOCUS spec. One view, one policy, one chargeback.
Real numbers, from real Datadog environments
Illustrative, benchmark aligned ranges. Your results will vary by environment.
On rightsizing, commitments, and waste, guaranteed on qualified engagements.
API keys connect, usage attribution syncs, agents surface top host and metric savings automatically.
No writes to your accounts. Every action routed through your existing approval flow.
