Datadog

Datadog is a SIEM data source. AiStrike ingests Datadog logs and security-monitoring signals to triage alerts and enrich investigations. Many teams route other alert sources (for example, IdPs) into Datadog and connect AiStrike to Datadog rather than to each source system.◼︎

Prerequisites

  • A Datadog account with admin access to create API and Application keys.

  • Both an API Key and an Application Key are required to enable the integration.

Step 1: Create a Datadog API Key

  1. In your Datadog dashboard, click your organization icon in the lower-left corner and go to Organization Settings → API Keys.

  1. Copy the generated key value and store it securely — this is your API Key. Click Finish.

Step 2: Create a Datadog Application Key

  1. From the same organization menu, go to Organization Settings → Application Keys.

  1. Copy the generated key value — this is your Application Key. Click Finish.

Application Key scopes only limit what the key can access — they don't grant capabilities the key owner doesn't already have. The two scopes above give read access to logs and security-monitoring signals.
