Datadog Cost Optimization
OhChimp reads your Datadog usage summary to flag high indexed log volume and break down spend by product. Savings verified on your real bill.
How does OhChimp connect to Datadog?
With a Datadog API key and Application key. OhChimp validates them against Datadog's /api/v1/validate endpoint, then reads your monthly usage summary across products. Your application data, secrets, and telemetry contents are never stored.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my log contents?
OhChimp reads usage and billing metadata from your usage summary, plus targeted metric queries and log searches when a plan needs to pinpoint a source. It does not change your Datadog setup on its own. Your application data, secrets, and telemetry contents are never stored.
What Datadog costs can OhChimp actually reduce?
It reads your usage summary to flag high indexed log volume, then recommends exclusion filters and sampling. It also reads spend per product and the current month's usage, so the line items driving your bill are visible before the invoice lands.
Who applies the changes, and can I roll back?
You do. Every fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes until you click apply, and you are always the one who clicks.
How are savings verified, and how is OhChimp priced?
OhChimp checks your real Datadog bill. A plan is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks. Otherwise it stays flagged "not implemented." Pricing is flat monthly with no cut of your savings, plus a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in your first 12 months on a paid plan.
