You can use cdk-datadog-resources like so:

import { DatadogMonitor } from '@nomadblacky/cdk-datadog-resources';

new DatadogMonitor(yourStack, 'TestMonitor', {
  datadogCredentials: {
    apiKey: process.env.DATADOG_API_KEY!,
    applicationKey: process.env.DATADOG_APP_KEY!,
  },
  query: 'avg(last_1h):sum:system.cpu.system{host:host0} > 100',
  type: MonitorType.QueryAlert,
  name: 'Test Monitor',
  options: {
    thresholds: {
      critical: 100,
      warning: 80,
      oK: 90,
    },
    notifyNoData: true,
    evaluationDelay: 60,
  },
});
