AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Datadog Integration

This construct makes it easy to integrate your AWS account with Datadog. It creates nested stacks based on the official Datadog Cloudformation templates using Amazon Cloud Development Kit (CDK).

Basic Usage

1. Install the package

   npm i --save cdk-datadog-integration

   Or via pypi, NuGet, or GitHub Packages.

2. Import the stack and pass the required parameters.

   import * as cdk from "@aws-cdk/core";
   import * as secrets from "@aws-cdk/aws-secretsmanager";
   import { DatadogIntegrationStack } from "cdk-datadog-integration";
   
   const app = new cdk.App();
   new DatadogIntegrationStack(app, "DatadogIntegration", {
     // Generate an ID here: https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#integrations/amazon-web-services
     externalId: "",
   
     // Create or lookup a `Secret` that contains your Datadog API Key
     // Get your API key here: https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api
     apiKey: secrets.Secret.fromSecretArn(
       app,
       "DatadogApiKey",
       "arn:aws:secretsmanager:<your region>:<your account>:secret:<your secret name>"
     ),
   });

Configuration

Use DatadogIntegrationConfig to set additional configuration parameters. Check out docs for more details on what's available.

Additionally, a CDK Construct is exposed, should you want to add additional customizations vs. using the out-of-the-box Stack.

How it Works

This module uses the CfnStack CDK Construct to import the three CloudFormation stacks referenced by the main Datadog CloudFormation template. By referencing the Datadog-provided templates, you can be confident that the integration works exactly as Datadog intends.
