Datadog
Effortlessly send events from Datadog to Squadcast - A comprehensive guide on integrating Datadog for seamless event management.
Datadog is a monitoring platform for cloud applications that bring in together data from servers, containers, databases, and third-party services, thus providing observability into the entire stack.
Route detailed monitoring alerts from Datadog to the right users in Squadcast.

2. Select Datadog. Copy the displayed Webhook URL to configure it within Datadog. Finish by clicking Add Alert Source -> Done.
Important:
When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources. You can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.
An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.

That's it, you are good to go! Your Datadog integration is now complete.
- Now, whenever Datadog fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it.
- When the alert recovers in Datadog, the corresponding incident will automatically get resolved in Squadcast as well.
