## Overview
11+
12+
Datadog's Hex integration helps data teams view end-to-end lineage between warehouse tables and Hex projects. The integration collects metadata and field-level lineage for objects in your Hex workspace. When Datadog connects, it:
13+
14+
- Pulls metadata from your Hex workspace, including projects and SQL cells
15+
- Generates field-level lineage between warehouse tables and columns and downstream Hex projects and SQL cells
16+
- Derives lineage for all [supported data warehouse destinations][1]
17+
18+
## Setup
19+
20+
### Create a Hex workspace token
21+
22+
1. In your Hex workspace settings, go to the {{< ui >}}API keys{{< /ui >}} page.
23+
2. Click {{< ui >}}New Token{{< /ui >}} to generate a workspace token.
24+
3. Provide a description and an expiration time frame. Datadog recommends setting up a token with no expiration.
25+
4. For the API scopes, select {{< ui >}}Read Access{{< /ui >}} under {{< ui >}}Projects{{< /ui >}}, {{< ui >}}Cells{{< /ui >}}, and {{< ui >}}Data connections{{< /ui >}}.
26+
27+
### Add the API credentials to Datadog
28+
29+
1. Navigate to the [Hex integration tile][2].
30+
2. Click {{< ui >}}Configure{{< /ui >}} > {{< ui >}}+ Add New Account{{< /ui >}}.
31+
3. Fill out the form with the following:
32+
- {{< ui >}}API Token{{< /ui >}}: The token from the previous step
33+
- {{< ui >}}Workspace URL{{< /ui >}}: Required only if you are a single-tenant, EU multi-tenant, or HIPAA multi-tenant customer. Leave empty otherwise.
34+
4. Click {{< ui >}}Save{{< /ui >}}.
35+
36+
## What's next
37+
38+
It can take up to 60 minutes for data to appear after the initial setup.
39+
40+
After syncing, you can explore your Hex projects and their upstream warehouse dependencies in the [Data Observability Catalog][3].
