Set up a Datadog v2 connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance for Datadog. Integrate your Datadog instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

This is an updated and improved version of the Datadog connector! If you’re setting up Datadog with ConductorOne for the first time, you’re in the right place.

Capabilities

  • Sync user identities from Datadog to ConductorOne

  • Resources supported:

    • Roles
    • Teams
  • Provisioning supported:

Add a new Datadog v2 connector

This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

  1. In ConductorOne, click Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Datadog v2 and click Add.

  3. Choose how to set up the new Datadog connector:

    • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

    • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

    • Create a new managed app

    Do you SSO into Datadog using your identity, SSO, or federation provider? If so, make sure to add the connector to the unmanaged Datadog app that was created automatically when you integrated your provider with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new managed app.

  1. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    A Datadog connector owner must have the following permissions:

    • Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
    • System Admin access in Datadog
  1. Click Next.

Next steps

  • If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Datadog connector for instructions on integrating Datadog with ConductorOne.

  • If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Configure your Datadog v2 connector

A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and System Admin access in Datadog must perform this task.

Step 1: Locate your Datadog site

  1. Navigate to the Datadog login screen and make a note of your Datadog site:

We’ll use this in Step 4.

Step 2: Create an API key

  1. Log into Datadog account and click User Account > Organizational Settings.

  2. Click API Keys and then click + New Key.

  3. Enter a name for your new key, such as “ConductorOne”, and click Create Key.

  4. Copy and save the newly created API key. We’ll use this in Step 4.

Step 3: Create an application key

  1. Navigate back to Organization Settings.

  2. Click Application Keys and then click + New Key.

  3. Enter a name for your new key, such as “ConductorOne”, and click Create Key.

  4. Copy and save the newly created application key. We’ll use this in Step 4.

Step 4: Add your Datadog credentials to ConductorOne

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to the Datadog connector by either:

    • Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.

    • Navigate to Connectors > Datadog v2 (if there is more than one Datadog v2 listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).

  2. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  3. Select your Datadog site from Step 1 from the list.

  4. Paste the API key from Step 2 in the API key field.

  5. Paste the application key from Step 3 in the Application key field.

  6. Click Save.

  7. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Datadog connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Configure the Datadog integration using Terraform

As an alternative to the integration process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Datadog and ConductorOne.

See the ConductorOne Datadog v2 integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
