It's worth noting that almost a year later, I have run into the same issue.

I managed to fix it, after I figured out how the role unfurls the yaml structure from the playbook.

The README for this role could potentially benefit from some more documentation on generic cases under the "datadog_checks" heading... or documented examples on all of the built-in checks.
