In this guide, you will go through the process of ingesting Datadog SLOs into Port, ensuring seamless integration between the two platforms. By following these steps, you will be able to create a blueprint for the microservice entity in Port, representing a service in your Datadog account. Additionally, you will establish a relationship between this service and the datadogSLO blueprint, enabling the ingestion of all defined SLOs from your Datadog account.
To ensure a successful mapping of the entities, it is crucial that the identifiers of the Port microservice entities match the names of the corresponding entities in your Datadog account. In cases where a mismatch occurs, you can utilize Datadog Tags to align the actual identifier in Port.
When creating your SLO in Datadog, add a tag with the name of the micorservice identifier in Port. You can then use the value of the tags property from the response of the Datadog SLO API request to establish a connection between the Datadog SLO service and the Port microservice.

To interact with Port using Gitlab CI Pipeline, you will first need to define your Port credentials as variables for your pipeline. Then, pass the defined variables to your ci pipeline script. Please note that by deafult, all Datadog API clients are configured to consume Datadog US site APIs (https://api.datadoghq.com). If you are on the Datadog EU site, set the environment variable DATADOG_API_URL to https://api.datadoghq.eu. Some Datadog clients may require you to add your account region to the API. In this case, you may change the DATADOG_API_URL to https://api.<region>.datadoghq.com or https://api.<region>.datadoghq.eu
The list of the required variables to run this pipeline are:

- Go to your Gitlab project and select CI/CD
- Click on Schedules and create new schedule
- Enter the necessary information into the form: the Description, Interval Pattern, Timezone, Target branch and other variables specifically for the schedule.
- Click on Save pipeline schedule
