# Datadog LLM Observability by [Datadog](/organizations/datadog/) - **ID:** `0774429b-6cc4-4992-b863-eb6e81f0face` - **JSON API:** /api/v1/catalog/products/0774429b-6cc4-4992-b863-eb6e81f0face/ - **Slug:** datadog-llm-observability - **Product website:** https://www.datadoghq.com/product/llm-observability/ - **Documentation:** https://docs.datadoghq.com - **Organization website:** https://www.datadoghq.com - **Categories:** [AI / Agent Observability](/categories/llm-observability-tracing/) ## Description Datadog LLM Observability monitors and traces LLM applications, providing visibility into prompts, responses, latency, and cost across the LLM stack. ## AI-native score: Unrated Research coverage is 38/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed. | Component | Applies | Raw | Effective weight | Nominal weight | Contribution | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Integration | Yes | 1/10 | 35% | 35% | 3.5 | | Trust | Yes | 1/6 | 30% | 30% | 5.0 | | Portability | Yes | 4/4 | 20% | 20% | 20.0 | | Security | Yes | 3/4 | 15% | 15% | 11.2 | - **Integration signals:** SDK / developer kit (+1) - **Trust signals:** Verified trust center (+1) - **Portability signals:** Data export (partial, +1); Open standards (+1); Standard protocol access (+1); No proprietary-SDK lock-in (+1) - **Security signals:** MFA available (+1); Compliance certifications (+1); Access controls — RBAC / ABAC (+1) ## Trust & Data Policy - **Trust center:** [Vendor trust center]() - **Multi-factor authentication:** ✓ Available - **Zero data retention:** – No - **Data export:** ○ Partial - **Open standards:** ✓ Yes - **Standard protocol access:** ✓ Yes - **No proprietary-SDK lock-in:** ✓ Yes - **Not yet researched:** llms.txt, WebMCP, Headless signup, No generative AI training, Hard budget caps, Sandbox environment, Data import, Documented provider swap, Self-hostable, Open source ## Confirmed absences These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications). - **Zero data retention** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-14. Checked the complete official source of the product Data Governance documentation for a zero-retention option. It documents retained spans, experiments, dataset records and prompts with positive retention periods and no zero-retention configuration.

A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence. - **Compliance certifications:** ISO/IEC 27001, System and Organization Controls 2 - **Access controls:** Role-Based Access Control ## Capabilities No capabilities listed. ## Jobs To Be Done No jobs to be done listed. ## Offers No offers listed. ## Reviews No approved reviews yet. ## Benchmarks No benchmarks listed. ## Documentation - [Agent Observability spans API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/agent-observability/list-agent-observability-spans/) ## API Specs Not yet researched. ## MCP Servers Not yet researched. ## A2A Servers Not yet researched. ## Native Connectors Not yet researched. ## Command-Line Interfaces Not yet researched. ## Developer Kits - [Datadog Agent Observability Python SDK](https://docs.datadoghq.com/llm_observability/setup/sdk) — Languages: Python ## Agent Skills Not yet researched. ## Related products - [Langfuse](/organizations/langfuse/products/langfuse/) by Langfuse — Tier B.
