Display Datadog dashboards on TV screens

Keep your Datadog monitoring dashboards on a screen your team can see all day, without a browser tab left open and signed in next to the TV. Fugo signs in to Datadog for you, captures the dashboard on a schedule you control, and sends it to your managed screens.

How to display Datadog on TV screens with Fugo

All you need is a Fugo account and the URL of the Datadog dashboard you want on screen. Fugo handles the sign-in and the refresh.

Connect your first dashboard

Connect your dashboard

Paste the URL of your Datadog dashboard and choose how Fugo signs in: with Datadog directly or through Okta.

Configure the TV view

Crop the dashboard in the Design Studio down to the charts that read well from across the room.

Set the refresh rate

Choose how often Fugo captures a fresh view, then publish it to the screens you assign.

Datadog is built for a browser, not for an always-on TV

Putting a monitoring dashboard on a wall usually means working around how Datadog signs people in.

  • A browser tab has to stay open and signed in near the screen

  • Sessions expire and SSO or 2FA prompts interrupt the display

  • A shared personal login ends up on a device nobody manages

  • A dashboard that stops refreshing is easy to miss

  • Nothing tells you when a screen has dropped back to a login page

A secure way to show Datadog on screens

Put monitoring data in front of the team without handing out more Datadog logins or leaving a signed-in browser running.

One platform for every screen in the building

IT picked one. Marketing picked another. The third came with the office fit-out. Fugo is built to replace all of them.

Keep system health where the whole team can see it

Monitoring only helps when people notice a change. A Datadog dashboard on the wall puts the same view in front of everyone at once.

  • Security analyst working beneath a wall of monitoring boards in a darkened operations center

    Security operations centers

    Keep monitoring boards in the SOC’s field of view so a change in the data does not depend on someone checking a workstation.

  • Network operations center team at a shared desk facing a video wall showing a global uptime map at 99.8% online

    IT and network operations

    Give the operations team a shared picture of service health that stays on screen between incidents.

  • DevOps team at workstations with a wall-mounted TV showing deployment status, pipeline health, and service metrics

    DevOps and release teams

    Keep the dashboards you watch during a deployment on a screen next to the team shipping it.

  • Engineering team in a meeting room reviewing a global operations overview dashboard on a wall-mounted screen

    Platform and infrastructure teams

    Show infrastructure and service metrics in the team area so a trend is noticed while there is still time to act.

  • Glass-walled operations room seen from a corridor, with a wall of monitoring screens running unattended

    Data centers and 24/7 operations

    A standing monitoring view makes it easier to check system health at a glance in rooms that are staffed around the clock.

  • Operator at an industrial control room desk surrounded by screens showing plant monitoring dashboards

    Industrial and OT monitoring

    Put plant and equipment monitoring on the screens operators already work beside.

Fugo works with the rest of your stack

Datadog may be your starting point for data display, but it doesn’t have to be the limit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I show a Datadog dashboard on a TV screen?

Yes. Fugo signs in to Datadog with the credentials you provide, captures an up-to-date screenshot of your dashboard, and displays that image on screen like any other piece of content. Nobody has to leave a browser tab open and signed in near the TV.

How does Fugo sign in to Datadog?

When you add your dashboard, Fugo checks that the URL is on the datadoghq.com domain and asks how it should sign in:

  • Sign in with Datadog: Fugo uses your Datadog username and password.
  • Sign in with Okta: if your organization uses Okta to sign in to Datadog, Fugo follows the Okta sign-in flow before landing back in Datadog.

Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely, not kept on the TV or the signage player.

Does this work with two-factor authentication?

Yes. Add the secret key from your authenticator setup and Fugo generates the correct 2FA code each time it signs in, so nobody has to re-authenticate by hand.

If you sign in with Okta, you get the secret key from Okta. If you sign in directly with Datadog, you can turn on an authenticator app under Personal Settings and copy the setup key from there. Our 2FA explainer covers the details.

Should I use my own Datadog login?

We recommend a dedicated, least-privileged account for Fugo, read-only where possible, rather than an individual team member’s login. It avoids interruptions from unexpected logouts or security alerts and limits what Fugo can reach in your Datadog org.

How often does the Datadog dashboard refresh?

You choose the refresh interval in the dashboard editor. A new dashboard starts with a default of once per day, and Fugo recaptures it on the schedule you set. It is a regularly refreshed snapshot rather than a live video feed.

Can I show just part of a Datadog dashboard?

Yes. Add the saved dashboard to a Design Studio canvas and crop it down to the chart or panel you need. You can also:

  • Resize and position it alongside other content
  • Add titles, ticker text, QR codes, or labels for context
  • Overlay branding or a clock
  • Combine it with other dashboards in one playlist

Dense monitoring dashboards usually read far better from across a room when cropped to a few charts.

How do I get the dashboard onto a screen?

Add the dashboard to a playlist as a content item, target the playlist to the screens you want, and publish it. The same dashboard can be reused across playlists and screens, and updating it in Fugo updates it everywhere it is used.

Does Fugo support the EU Datadog site?

The Datadog app currently recognizes the US domain, datadoghq.com. If your organization uses the EU domain, use the Custom URL dashboard option instead, or email support@fugo.ai and we will help you set it up.

Where does Fugo capture the dashboard?

In the dashboard editor you can choose whether Fugo runs the sign-in and capture in the cloud, on your own on-premise server, or on the player device itself. Read about the deployment options.

How do I get access to TV dashboards?

The Dashboards feature is available by booking a demo call with our team. We walk through what is needed to set up your dashboard and enable the feature on your account or trial afterward.

What screens can I use?

Nearly any screen that runs the Fugo player app or connects to a supported signage device: Android TV, ChromeOS, Windows mini PCs, external players, tablets, kiosks, and most commercial displays with HDMI input. See our supported and recommended hardware.

Can I test this before rolling it out?

Yes. Start with a trial, connect one Datadog dashboard, and check it on a single screen before expanding.
