# Datadog

Our Datadog alert integration can be added to your account and configured to send the message of your choice to appear in the Datadog Event Management dashboard (as part of service management) whenever a new interaction or observation is detected against your seeds

## Step 1 - Get your Datadog site

Datadog uses different domains for its API depending the site you have your tenant in.&#x20;

You'll know this from the drop down used during Datadog authentication, or by looking at the URL used when accessing Datadog. The table below correlates your site with the DATADOG API DOMAIN you need to provide in step 3, later

| SITE    | SITE URL                    | LOCATION | API DOMAIN            |
| ------- | --------------------------- | -------- | --------------------- |
| US1     | `https://app.datadoghq.com` | US       | api.datadoghq.com     |
| US3     | `https://us3.datadoghq.com` | US       | api.us3.datadoghq.com |
| US5     | `https://us5.datadoghq.com` | US       | api.us5.datadoghq.com |
| EU1     | `https://app.datadoghq.eu`  | EU       | api.datadoghq.eu      |
| US1-FED | `https://app.ddog-gov.com`  | US       | api.ddog-gov.com      |
| AP1     | `https://ap1.datadoghq.com` | Japan    | api.ap1.datadoghq.com |

## Step 2 - Get a Datadog API token

To ensure messages from seedata are "trusted", you will need to pass an API token (generated by Datadog) with each message sent by seedata.io. To do this, please;

* Navigate to **Datadog / Organization settings**, then click the **API keys** tab.&#x20;
* Click the **New Key** button.&#x20;
* Enter a name for your key.&#x20;
* Click **Create API key**.
* Make a temporary note of the new secret key value (for clarity, this is the value with the little key icon next to it. It's not the key ID). You will use this in step 3. ![](/files/8ron9JjDsZJqpE9SX9AV)

## Step 3 - Configure the alert

* Log in to seedata and go to **Alerts** and find the tile for Datadog
* Click **Install**
* Give this installation a name and description so you know why you have created it.
* Select the priorities of events you want to be sent by opting in (or not) for baseline events
* Add the **Datadog API Domain** that you previously identified.
* Add the **API key** that you previously generated on the datadog platform.
* We provide a default template for the message that will be sent. You're free to change this, by adding any free text you wish along with any seedata.io variables. There's even a handy "Reset Template" button if you want to restore our default template at any time.
* Hit **Submit**.
