Integration

Datadog integrationWhat it reads

MarshalCloud reads your Datadog monitors and their state, and can pull alert events and open security signals into its own investigation. It never writes back.

Which plan includes itWhat it can read

Growth and above for alert events and security signals (the Datadog connector). Listing your monitors and their state is on every plan.

What does MarshalCloud do with Datadog?

  • Your Datadog monitors and their current state, shown next to MarshalCloud's own uptime checks so one page answers 'is anything broken'.
  • With the connector on: recent Datadog alert events and open security signals, which become findings MarshalCloud can investigate alongside its own.
  • It stores a short summary only: monitor name, state and type, and when it last triggered.

Read-only is the default everywhere. A fix is drafted, priced and explained, and then waits for a person to approve it.

What MarshalCloud never does in Datadog

  • It never creates, mutes, resolves or changes anything in Datadog. Every call is a read.
  • Your API and application keys are encrypted and never shown back by any interface or API.
  • If Datadog cannot be reached the view says unavailable and records the type of error. It never turns a failed read into a green result.

How do you connect Datadog?

  1. 01Create a Datadog API key and application key with read access.
  2. 02Paste both into MarshalCloud's operations settings, with your Datadog site.
  3. 03Sync. MarshalCloud lists your monitors and shows their state; a failed sync says unavailable rather than nothing.
