SaaS Management: Datadog Connector

JumpCloud® SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT and SaaS app use within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to the valuable usage and security insights.

The Datadog Connector retrieves users lists and data from the Datadog API, enabling seamless integration with third-party apps authenticated via Datadog credentials. It captures new users and login events via periodic polling for real-time updates. This connector also ensures data integrity and security because it is configured via OAuth with read-only permissions.

• To configure the connector, you must be a Datadog admin to create API and Application keys.

Considerations

• Based on your organization’s size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour.
