Receive event alerts within your Datadog tenant
Last updated
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
Datadog uses different domains for its API depending the site you have your tenant in.
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

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.
Click the New Key button.
Enter a name for your key.
Click Create API key.
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.
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.
