What is the Datadog Terraform provider used for?
The Datadog Terraform provider lets you define dashboards, monitors, synthetic tests, notebooks, and other Datadog resources as version-controlled configuration files, applied through standard Terraform workflows instead of manual UI changes.
This makes Datadog configuration reviewable through normal pull requests, repeatable across multiple environments or accounts, and auditable since changes go through the same change-management process as any other infrastructure.
It's commonly used to keep dev, staging, and production monitoring consistent, and to prevent configuration drift that happens when changes are made ad hoc through the UI by different people over time.
