DataDog
Extend #395 to accommodate extra_endpoints
Datadog auth secrets are also stored in extra_endpoints, node['datadog']['extra_endpoints'], but #395 fell short in that it didn't cover these attributes. These should also be retrieved from node run state whenever available.
This would be a welcome feature indeed. Are you still using the extra_endpoints on the Agent side? This was originally implemented mostly for our internal usage, but I'd be interested in your use case.
A contribution would be welcome for this feature, I'll put this in triage to evaluate demand.
Yes, we are using the extra_endpoints on the agent side. In our use case, we are in an enterprise environment where there are two disparate teams using Datadog to monitor their area of responsibility on that particular server. So, we have the primary team's keys configured in the main part of the agent config, and the secondary or other teams are configured with their keys under extra_endpoints. For example, we have a database server with two operational teams. The first is the OS operational team, and the second are the DBA teams. Each team needs to have their own keys in place so they can setup monitors in their own DataDog accounts due to the specific alerting and monitoring workflows they've already established.

Great, I see, thanks for the explanation @haidangwa!
Just as a general FYI (if someone comes across this issue), using this option without contacting our support team first incurs host double-billing (as each host will be billed for every account to which its agent reports)
