View as Markdown

While configuring streams, you need to set up a specific endpoint to stream your Azion data.

Continue reading for a step by step on how to connect a Datadog endpoint to receive data from Data Stream.

Datadog requirements

To get started, you must complete a few configurations in Datadog:

  1. Create an account.
  2. Log in to your Datadog account.
  3. On the left menu, select Logs > Analytics > copy your endpoint URL.
  4. On the bottom corner of the left menu, hover over your name or email and select Organization Settings > ACCESS > API Keys.
  5. Click the New Key button > provide a Name for your key.
  6. Click the Create Key button.
  7. Click the Copy Key button and save the copied key to use it later on.

Configuring the endpoint in Data Stream

Next, follow these steps to configure the new endpoint you created in Datadog in your Azion Data Stream.

You can find detailed steps for the entire configuration on the How to use Data Stream guide.

All key fields will be masked and an icon that allows revealing the field content will be only displayed to users with the Edit Data Stream permission. Users without the Edit Data Stream permission can only view the settings of the existing stream but not edit or create new ones.

In the Destination configurations:

  1. On the Connector dropdown menu, select Datadog.
  2. On URL, add the URL of your Datadog endpoint. Example: http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com
  3. On API Key, add the key created in the Datadog API. Example: a724716c63d1eeos5b20464w72f9ew495
  4. Make sure the Active switch is on.
  5. Click the Save button.

After saving the configurations, your data will be streamed to the newly configured endpoint.

You can keep track of the calls made by Data Stream to Datadog on Real-Time Events. To do so, select Data Source > Data Stream and choose the filters options as you wish.
