The Agent researches both APIs and wires the trigger on one side to the action on the other — no pre-built connector required. Here is the vocabulary it has to work with.

Common questions
Can Knit build “When new job status notification in Jenkins, sync it to Datadog.” between Datadog and Jenkins?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Datadog and Jenkins's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.
How long does it take to build?
Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.
Why connect developer tools to a monitoring tool?
Most incidents follow a change. Linking Jenkins and Datadog lets engineers see what was deployed around the time an alert fired, and turn an incident into tracked work.
Can an incident create an issue for the engineering team?
Yes. When an incident opens in Datadog, you can create an issue in Jenkins so the fix is tracked alongside the code.
