Datadog

You can set up Wallarm to send notifications of detected events directly to the Datadog Logs service by creating an appropriate integration via Datadog API key in Wallarm Console.

You can choose the following events to be sent to Datadog:

  • Hits detected except for:

  • System related:

    • User changes (newly created, deleted, role change)
    • Integration changes (disabled, deleted)
    • Application changes (newly created, deleted, name change)

  • Vulnerabilities detected, all by default or only for the selected risk level(s):

    • High risk
    • Medium risk
    • Low risk

  • Rules and triggers changed (creating, updating, or deleting the rule or trigger)

  • Scope (exposed assets) changed: updates in hosts, services, and domains

  • On an hourly basis, you can get a notification with the number of requests processed during the previous hour

Testing integration

Integration testing allows checking configuration correctness, availability of the Wallarm Cloud, and the notification format. To test the integration, you can use the button Test integration when creating or editing the integration.

The integration is tested as follows:

  • Test notifications with the prefix [Test message] are sent to the selected system.

  • Test notifications cover the following events (each in a single record):

    • New user in the company account
    • Newly detected hit
    • Newly discovered IP in the company scope
    • New trigger in the company account
    • Newly discovered security vulnerability

  • Test notifications include test data.

Updating integration

To update the settings of active integration:

  1. Go to Wallarm Console → Integrations in the US or EU Cloud.

  2. Open an active integration.

  3. Make required changes and click Save.

Disabling integration

To stop sending reports and notifications temporarily, you can disable the integration:

  1. Go to Wallarm Console → Integrations in the US or EU Cloud.

  2. Open an active integration and click Disable.

To re-enable sending reports and notifications, open the disabled integration and click Enable.

Disabling the integration is the system event. If you receive system notifications, messages about disabled integration will be sent to the configured system.

Deleting integration

To stop sending reports and notifications permanently, you can delete the integration. Deleting an integration cannot be undone. The integration will be removed from the list permanently.

  1. Go to Wallarm Console → Integrations in the US or EU Cloud.

  2. Open integration and click Delete.

  3. Confirm the action.

Deleting the integration is the system event. If you receive system notifications, messages about deleted integration will be sent to the configured system.
