Track Datadog updates through Telegram

Requirements

• Python 3.5
• bottle
• gevent
• python-telegram-bot

Setting up

• Clone the repository
• Install the required dependencies with

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

• Create a telegram bot through Bot Father
• Put your telegram_token in settings.json, use settings.sample.json as a sample
• Start dtg.py. This will start a bottle webserver on port 9904 and a telegram bot. You can change the port using the --port CLI argument. Once the server is started, it'll redirect all the incoming requests that match the Datadog webhook structure to the Telegram API.
• Log in to Datadog, go in the Integrations page, add a Webhooks integration
• Give it any name, set the URL to your dtg address (eg: http://1.2.3.4:9904/)
• Tick Use custom payload and set Custom payload to:

{
    "event_title": "$EVENT_TITLE",
    "tags": "$TAGS",
    "user": "$USER",
    "priority": "$PRIORITY",
    "text_only_msg": "$TEXT_ONLY_MSG",
    "snapshot": "$SNAPSHOT",
    "link": "$LINK",
    "alert_query": "$ALERT_QUERY"
}

• Untick Encode as form, leave Headers empty and save the webhook
• Once dtg.py is started, go to your Telegram bot and type /start to start the bot.
• The bot will tell you your telegram user ID, copy it and add it to the allowed array in settings.json
• Restart dtg and it'll send all the Datadog updates it receives to all the users inside the allowed array in the config file.
