Datadog

Firefly integrates with Datadog to pull in information like monitors, dashboards, and alerts as "assets". This means in your Firefly Inventory, you'll see Datadog monitors listed (with their configurations) just like cloud assets. You can then enforce IaC or policies on them as well (for example, ensuring all monitors follow a naming convention).

Prerequisites

  • A Datadog Application Key from your Datadog account.

  • A Datadog API Key from your Datadog account.

  • Ensure both keys have read permissions on Datadog data (usually Admin or standard API key is fine since Datadog doesn't have granular read roles).

  • Access to Datadog's API Keys and Application Keys sections.

Setup Procedure

  1. In Firefly, select Settings > Integrations and then Add New > Datadog.

  2. Create a new application key here.

  3. From the upper-right corner, select New Key.

  4. Copy and paste the application key into the box.

  5. Create a new API key here.

  6. From the upper-right corner, select New Key.

  7. Copy and paste the API key into the box.

  8. Select your Datadog site and click Next.

  9. Click Done.
