Connect Datadog when you want Tero to review log telemetry and build service and log-event context. Tero also shows cost and compliance issues, analyzes ingestion, and manages supported provider actions.

​
Connect Datadog

Select your Datadog region, then follow the steps.

​
Datadog context in Tero

Datadog gives Tero provider context for what you review in Tero:
  • Issues with evidence from log events, services, volume, cost, and compliance exposure
  • Services with ownership and log-volume context
  • Log events grouped from Datadog logs
  • Cost and Compliance lanes tied to open issues
  • Log ingestion analysis for indexed, non-indexed, and migration-candidate volume
  • Datadog exclusion filter inventory in the Policies workspace
Datadog log ingestion analysis shows where you can move waste upstream with policies.

​
Provider actions

With write access, Tero can manage supported Datadog log controls through the Datadog API. Common actions include: Provider actions are one way to run a policy. You can also run policies with Edge, deploy the Datadog Edge distribution, or use repository workflows.

​
Permissions

Datadog has managed roles and custom role permissions. Choose the narrowest role that supports the work you want Tero to do.

​
Custom role permissions

Start with read access when you only want evidence and recommendations. Add write permissions when you want Tero to apply provider actions.

​
Scope access to services

Use Datadog restriction queries when you want Tero to read logs for specific services. Attach the restriction query to the role used by Tero.
