Migrate Splunk Queries, Alerts, and Dashboards to Datadog
Datadog, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
Datadog explains how its Translate and Import tools help migrate Splunk SPL queries, alerts and dashboards into Datadog Log Management.
Datadog notes that moving logs is only part of a migration, since teams have built years of saved searches, alerts and dashboards in Splunk's Search Processing Language that are slow and error-prone to rebuild by hand.
Its in-app Translate and Import tools aim to recreate these assets in Datadog Log Management without rewriting them from scratch.
Translate converts individual SPL queries into Datadog log searches, provides a step-by-step explanation and lets users validate results against their own logs.
