You can connect Datadog to Opal to manage and review access to Datadog roles.

​
Supported resources

With Opal’s Datadog integration:
  • Users can request access to Datadog
  • Admins can provision/connect their Datadog instance to Opal
  • Approve requests or assign roles in Datadog to end-users

​
Requirements

To connect with Datadog, you must first:
  • Be an Opal Admin
  • Be on version 1.1152.0 or later if you self-host Opal

​
1. Create Datadog App in Opal

In Opal, go to the Inventory > + App, then select Datadog.

​
2. Configure fields in the Datadog App

In your Datadog tenant, go to Settings > Access. Create an API key and an Application Key, and take note of them. The Datadog role assigned to the user who owns these keys must include the following permissions:
  • user_access_read - View users and their roles and settings.
  • user_access_manage - Disable users, manage user roles, manage SAML-to-role mappings, and configure logs restriction queries.
Back in Opal, fill in the app name, admin, description and visibility. Input your Datadog tenant’s region under Datadog Site, and the API and Application key you created in the respective fields.

​
3. Create and sync

Upon saving the app, you can begin importing users via … > Import items.
