Installing Datadog on Rootly

We recommend you perform the installation with a service account to ensure the integration doesn’t break, should the installing user leave the company.

Ensure that you are logged in as an Admin user in Rootly.

Locate Datadog on the Integrations catalog and select Setup.

Now, you will be asked to enter your Datadog API Key and Application Key.

Create API Key in Datadog

To obtain the API Key, you’ll need to log into your Datadog account and select: Your user (lower left corner) > Organization Settings > API Keys > **+ New Key**

Give your API Key a representative name and select Create Key.

Copy the newly created API Key.

Make sure to copy the key itself, NOT the Key ID.

Paste API Key into the Rootly Datadog setup modal.

Create Application Key in Datadog

To obtain the Application Key, navigate to > Application Keys > **+ New Key**

Give your Application Key a representative name and select Create Key.

Edit the permission to only grant dashboard_read.

You can grant more than just dashbaord_read. However, Rootly only requires this permission to perform the available workflow actions.

Permission can be edited at any time, so you don’t have to select it here before creating the Application Key.

Copy the newly created Application Key.

Make sure to copy the key itself, NOT the Key ID.

Paste Application Key into the Rootly Datadog setup modal.

Uninstall

You can uninstall this integration in the integrations panel by clicking Configure > Delete.
