It's just a simple lambda. The instructions are on the Datadog website.

A simple lambda? I am hoping to write code to create a bunch of monitors in datadog?

The Datadog monitors are usually oneliners. It's the AWS integration with Datadog that's the lambda.

<https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_web_services/>

Yea, I am not really concerned w/ AWS - my application is emitting datadog metrics to datadog i.e. <http://myApplication.someRoute.POST|myApplication.someRoute.POST> w/ results OK, latency 150ms

I would like to write a monitor that listens to these metrics and alerts if say the avg latency goes &gt; 500 ms

Ah. Well the Datadog provider is documented here: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/datadog/api-docs/>
You want the Monitor resource:
<https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/datadog/api-docs/monitor/>

ok, was hoping there might be a sample app somewhere to look at but :shrug:

```➜  datadog  pulumi new datadog
error: template 'datadog' not found
➜  datadog  ```

I guess this is not the most common use case just yet

In the past I built this stuff w/ terraform, it was somewhat painful

No, I don't think there's a template. I can't see any example code, except the trivial one used in the Pulumi integration test suite: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-datadog/tree/master/examples/user>

But you could look up Terraform examples. It's a bridged provider, so there's a 1:1 mapping from tf code to Pulumi code.

FWIW I use it for one of my clients and it's so vanilla that I've not had to look for examples. The Monitor class maps exactly to the fields they give me for creating monitors, so I guess they're exactly the same as what they're using in the Datadog UI?
