+### Trigger Specification
+
+This specification describes the `datadog` trigger that scales based on a Datadog metric.
+
+```yaml
+triggers:
+- type: datadog
+  metadata:
+    query: "sum:trace.redis.command.hits{env:none,service:redis}.as_count()"
+    queryValue: "7"
+    type: "global"
+    age: "60"
+```
+
+**Parameter list:**
+
+- `query` - The Datadog query to run.
+- `queryValue` - Value to reach to start scaling.
+- `type` - Whether to start scaling based on the value or the average between pods. (Values: `average`, `global`, Default:`average`, Optional)
+- `age`: The time window (in seconds) to retrieve metrics from Datadog. (Default: `90`, Optional) 
+
+### Authentication
+
+Datadog requires both an API key and an APP key to retrieve metrics from your account.
+
+You should use `TriggerAuthentication` CRD to configure the authentication:
+
+**Parameter list:**
+- `apiKey` - Datadog API key.
+- `appKey` - Datadog APP key.
+- `datadogSite` - Datadog site where to get the metrics from. This is commonly referred as DD_SITE in Datadog documentation. (Default: `datadoghq.com`, Optional)
+
