Apigee X is Google Cloud’s API management platform. Software and platform teams use it to secure, publish, and govern the APIs that internal services, partners, and external developers depend on. Apigee X sits in the request path for that traffic, so a latency spike or a rise in policy errors reaches API consumers before most other signals do. Watching proxy traffic, latency, and security posture usually means jumping between Apigee analytics and separate infrastructure tools. Even after teams spot a problem, moving from the first symptom to the root cause means stitching those tools together by hand.
Datadog’s Google Cloud Apigee X integration collects Apigee X metrics under the gcp.apigee.* namespace through Google Cloud Monitoring. The integration turns on automatically once you configure the Google Cloud integration, with no separate agent or setup required. Metrics cover proxy request and response counts, end-to-end (E2E) and backend latency, environment-level traffic and anomalies, and Advanced API Security scores. Because these metrics land alongside your GKE, Cloud Run, and Cloud SQL telemetry, you can track API health across your Google Cloud stack from one place.
