Datadog

Connect Sola and Datadog to get security insights

Overview

The Datadog integration connects data from your Datadog account to your Sola workspace, making it easy to search and find answers to your specific use cases.

With the Datadog integration, you can:

• Gain visibility into monitored hosts and AWS integration resources connected to your Datadog environment.

• Track monitors and log-based metrics configured to alert when specific thresholds are crossed.

• Monitor user accounts, roles, and permissions to understand access across your Datadog organization.

• Review dashboards and service level objectives used to track key metrics over time.

• Track detection pipeline health, including disabled rules, narrowed security filters, broad suppressions, and notification routing gaps that could cause findings to go unnoticed.

• Audit API and application key hygiene, including unused keys and keys still held by terminated or disabled users.

• Review role assignments, SAML-to-role mappings, and organization-wide authentication settings, including SSO enforcement and IP allowlisting.

• Identify critical asset definitions and correlate entity and threat intelligence context during investigations.

Your data can only be retrieved, never modified.

Once connected, your data is securely stored, and access is restricted to retrieving configurations and metadata only. Authentication methods ensure secure delegation of permissions while maintaining data integrity.

FAQs

What is the difference between the Datadog integrations?

Sola offers two Datadog integrations:

• Datadog: a data source covering infrastructure and observability data, hosts, monitors, user accounts, roles, and dashboards. Data is synced on a schedule and stored in tables in your Sola workspace.

• Datadog Cloud SIEM: a real-time data source covering Datadog's security-specific data, security signals, logs, audit events, Cloud Security posture findings, and incidents. Data is queried directly from Datadog in real time, reflecting current state, nothing is copied or stored in Sola.

Use Datadog for visibility into your Datadog monitoring and infrastructure setup. Use Datadog Cloud SIEM for Datadog's security product line and want real-time access to signals and incidents. You can connect both.
