Track AI Token Usage Across Engineering Teams
Monitor and analyze AI token consumption patterns across development teams to optimize costs and identify high-usage areas for better resource allocation.
Workflow Steps
OpenAI API
Configure usage tracking
Set up API logging to capture token usage metrics for each request, including user ID, timestamp, model used, and tokens consumed.
DataDog
Create monitoring dashboard
Build custom dashboards to visualize token usage by team, project, and time period. Set up metrics for cost per team and usage trends.
DataDog
Set up cost threshold alerts
Configure alerts that trigger when token usage exceeds budget thresholds (daily/weekly/monthly) for specific teams or projects.
Slack
Send automated usage reports
Use DataDog's Slack integration to automatically post weekly usage summaries and budget alerts to team channels and finance stakeholders.
