Monitoring & APM

Datadog

Pull Datadog monitor alerts and Events API alerts into incidents, reconcile host inventory into the CMDB, and push incident-lifecycle state back to Datadog as an event.

What it does

  • monitor.alert and event.triggered → incident, with Datadog's P1–P5 priority mapped to platform severity (tenant override map supported, safe mid-severity fallback)
  • host.inventory → CMDB CI reconciliation
  • Incident lifecycle pushed back to Datadog as an event (state → alert_type: error/warning/success/info) so a Datadog dashboard reflects our handling
  • Signed inbound webhooks (HMAC) alongside a scheduled poll of the Monitors + Events API
  • Authenticates with a Datadog API key + Application key, not OAuth

Data residency

Catalog default is EU (datadoghq.eu). A tenant on a US site (datadoghq.com, US3, US5, AP1) is gated by a non-EU acknowledgement before the integration can be enabled — resolved per-tenant from the chosen site.

Event mappings

External eventMaps toWhat happens
monitor.alertincidentA Datadog monitor entering alert creates an incident (severity from priority)
event.triggeredincidentA Datadog Events API alert (polled) reconciles into an incident
host.inventoryciDatadog host inventory reconciles into CMDB CIs

What you configure

  • Region (eu/us) and concrete site (datadoghq.eu, datadoghq.com, us3/us5/ap1)
  • API key configured (flag only — the value is a secret)
  • Application key configured (flag only)
  • Webhook signing secret configured (flag only)

Setup overview

Point the integration at your Datadog site and store the API key + Application key as secrets. Configure a Datadog webhook for the signed inbound path, or rely on the scheduled poll.
