Connect integrations

Each integration follows a simple, guided flow. Let’s look at Datadog as an example. 
  1. Name - Helps distinguish between different instances
  2. API Key - in Datadog, create a new API key and copy and paste into Tracer. 
  3. Application Key - In Datadog, create a new Application Key and copy and paste into Tracer.
