    Types of Assets Fetched

    This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

    • Devices
    • Users
    • Software
    • SaaS Applications

    Parameters

    1. Datadog Domain (required) - The hostname or IP address of the Datadog server.
    2. Application Key and API Key (required) - API and Application Keys associated with a user account that has the Required Permissions to fetch assets.
    Note:

    You must generate the API and Application Keys from two locations in the Datadog admin console. In order for this to work, you need to pair both keys in the adapter wizard, as Datadog doesn't authenticate using only the Application Key — even with the scope of the key specified.

    1. Verify SSL - Verify the SSL certificate offered by the value supplied in Datadog Domain. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.
    2. HTTPS Proxy (optional) - A proxy to use when connecting to the value supplied in Datadog Domain.

    To learn more about common adapter connection parameters and buttons, see Adding a New Adapter Connection.

    Required Permissions

    The value supplied in Application Key must be associated with a user account that has read access to hosts and to users.

    The following permissions are required in Application Key:

    • host_read
    • user_access_read

    To add a Datadog API key, application key, or client token, navigate to Integration -> APIs, enter a name for your key or token, and click Create API key or Create Application Key or Create Client Token.
    For more details, see Datadog - API and Application Keys.

    Note:

    If you are receiving a 403 "missing scopes" error, please attempt removing all Scope assignments from the Application Key and testing again.
