Create Datadog Keys
The simplest and safest way to connect Datadog is by using a service account with read-only access. This limits Deductive to observability data only.- Create (or reuse) a Datadog service account.
- Assign it the ‘Datadog Read Only’ role.
- From the service account, create a ‘Datadog Application Key’.
- Set the key to ‘Unscoped’ - unscoped application keys automatically include the required read permissions.
- Create a standard ‘Datadog API Key’ - these are account-wide and used for authentication.
Connect Datadog in Deductive
Once connected, Deductive will begin ingesting Datadog metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards for alert investigation.- Navigate to ‘Integrations’ -> ‘Datadog’ in the Deductive settings.
- Enter your ‘Datadog API Key’ and ‘Application Key’.
- Select the correct ‘Datadog API endpoint’ for your region.
- Click ‘Add’ to complete the connection.
