Delete Metric in DataDog


I need to request a DataDog metric but in the metric is wrong data stored. Is there a possibility to remove data from a DataDog metric? I didn´t find any in the official documentation. Removing the whole metric would also be fine.


Solution

  • Metrics are recorded over time. Each value belongs to a specific point in time. Old values cannot be deleted or overwritten. There might be a better way of achieving what you're trying to do, but to give specific advice more detail on what you're trying to measure and how you're currently doing it is required.
