You can log your time on any device and see detailed statistics about how you spend your time. With Toggl Premium you can add due dates for all of your tasks, add multiple people on the same task and assign tasks to different users. You can also set alerts on projects and tasks so that you get notified when something is due. If you need some more advanced features, you can upgrade to Toggl Pro. With Pro, you can add unlimited Projects and Subprojects, add timesheets and create invoices. There are several integrations available for Toggl including Google Drive, Appy Pie Connect, Slack, Microsoft Flow, Podio, JIRA, Trello, Todoist, Evernote, Asana, Harvest, SalesForce, Amazon Web Services (AWS. Simple Notification Service (SNS), Intercom etc.

Datadog

You can monitor almost anything with Datadog including HTTP requests, disk I/O, CPU usage etc. Datadog integrates with many platforms including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Heroku, Kubernetes, Mesosphere DC/OS, Microsoft Azure, Docker Swarm, OpenStack etc.

Integration of Toggl and Datadog

Toggl has an integration with Datadog which allows you to easily send the metrics from your Toggl account to Datadog in one click. This integration also sends the metrics in real-time. The integration works in the fplowing way:

You go to Integrations section of your Toggl account and click Send to Datadog. You enter the credentials of your Datadog account which include the API token and secret key. Next, click Connect. If the connection is successful, you will see “Account connected” message. That’s it! You are done!

If you want to use this integration then you must have a paid version of both Toggl and Datadog. This integration also only works for new users who sign up after December 2018 . It is not available for pd users yet. So if you are an pd user then it doesn’t matter because you can always build your own integration between Toggl and Datadog using the Datadog API v4.

Benefits of Integration of Toggl and Datadog

There are many benefits of integrating Toggl with Datadog because it makes it easy to view the data in one place. You can create graphs in Datadog that show how much time you spent on each project or tasks in any given month/year by just selecting the relevant data points in Toggl. This way you don’t have to go through multiple tabs or have multiple browser windows open at once to check your data. You just have to log into your Toggl account and then go to the Overview page where you can see a dashboard with a chart which shows a graph of all your metrics combined. Here is a screenshot of what this dashboard looks like:

At first glance it seems like there is no way to view individual metrics with this dashboard but if you hover over the chart you will see a dropdown with the names of all your projects and tasks listed. From here you can select any project or task to view its stats directly from Toggl itself. In addition to viewing the graphs directly from Toggl itself, you can also see these graphs on the Dashboard section of your Datadog account as well as in the Metrics section of the dashboard. Here is a screenshot of a similar dashboard from a Datadog account where they track their time spent on projects and tasks:

In addition to viewing aggregated data from Toggl from one place in Datadog, it also makes it easier to compare data from different sources as well as keep track of everything from one place without having to check multiple tabs or browser windows. This integration also saves a lot of time because now all your data is available in one place instead of having to switch between various tabs and browsers all the time. All of this makes this integration very powerful and useful! These two services complement each other very well and thus it is easy to integrate them together and get all the benefits of doing so!
