# Datadog Destination

> Export logs, metrics, and traces to Datadog from Sawmills. Configure your Datadog API key, site selector, and enabled data types for forwarding.

## Supported Data Types:

📘 **Logs** | 📈 **Metrics** | 🚦 **Traces**

<Warning>
  **Traces**: While the Datadog destination can export traces, the Sawmills Collector does not support receiving traces from a Datadog agent. If you are using a Datadog agent as your source, traces must be sent directly to Datadog. See the [Datadog Agent Configuration guide](/docs/send-data-from-datadog-agent#traces-bypass-configuration) for details.
</Warning>
