AWS DevOps Agent integration with Datadog | Amazon Web Services

Key Takeaways

Hello everyone. I'm Naveen Sangodala, a technical account manager at AWS. When an incident hits, every second counts. In this video, I'll show you how to connect AWS DevOps agent to Datadog so that alerts automatically kick off investigations, so no manual handoff. Let's get started. Three things you will need for this integration: a Datadog account with admin access, an AWS DevOps agent space already created, your Datadog site endpoints. The MCP endpoint URL varies depending on your Datadog site. To identify your site, check the URL in your browser when logged into Datadog. Step one. Register Datadog. In the DevOps agent console, open capability providers from the side navigation. Under telemetry, find Datadog and click register. Give your server a name. Then enter the MCP endpoint URL for your site. Click next, review, and submit. You will be redirected to Datadog to authorize. Click allow. And here, you can see the permissions DevOps agent is requesting. Read access to your monitors, metrics, logs, and traces. Click allow to authorize, and Datadog is now connected at the account level, available across all your agent spaces. Step two. Enable an agent space. Next, open your agent space. Go to capabilities tab. Scroll to telemetry and click add. Select Datadog. Click next and then and You will get a webhook URL and an API key. Copy both of them. These are your credentials for your next step. Step three. Configure webhook in Datadog. In Datadog, create a webhook using the URL and API key you just copied. Set the method to post. Add an authorization header with your bearer token and configure the payload to match the schema from the docs. Like incident ID, priority, title, and so on. That's it. Datadog is now enabled in your agent space and ready to use. Step four. See it in action. Let's verify the integration is working. I'll open the DevOps agent SRE chat interface and ask it about my Datadog monitors. What monitors do I have configured in Datadog and which services are they watching? As you could see, the agent queries Datadog in real time and returns a clear summary. Six monitors across RDS, EC2, and Lambda with a current status and thresholds. It even flags monitors with no data and suggests next steps. This confirms the integration is working and DevOps agent can successfully pull data from Datadog. That's it. AWS DevOps agent and Datadog integration is now complete. Full setup details are in the AWS DevOps agent documentation. Thanks for watching.
