Datadog: Elevated Errors for API Key Validation
Timeline of updates
- resolved
From 12:45-1:15 PM US EST Datadog’s endpoint to validate Datadog API keys was unavailable. During this window Datadog Agents would be unable to validate their API key. In all cases Agents would continue to send data. Some Agents running in Kubernetes may be marked unhealthy until restarted. Newly started Agents would fail to start. Build jobs using our CI Visibility product would be missing custom tags and measures.
From Datadog’s published incident history: for incidents before Rewindex began polling this status page, only the final update text is available.
Archive proof
Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert.
How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.
This incident predates live tracking (October 17, 2026). It came from the vendor’s own published history, which is not covered by checkpoints.
Impact, status and times are the vendor’s own, as last archived. View on status.datadoghq.com (opens in new tab).
