Overview

With DDSQL Editor, you can get deeper visibility into your infrastructure by querying your resources with natural language or with DDSQL, a dialect of SQL with additional support for querying tags.

Query in natural language

Type your question into the search box, and Datadog builds the SQL query for you.

Use SQL syntax (DDSQL)

Get exactly the data you want by writing your own SELECT statement. Query tags as if they are standard table columns. For more information on DDSQL queries, see the DDSQL Reference documentation.

SELECT instance_type, count(instance_type)
FROM aws_ec2_instance
WHERE env = 'staging' -- env is a tag, not a column
GROUP BY instance_type
