Visit Website →

Overview

The Pulumi Datadog provider allows you to configure the Datadog monitoring and security platform as code. This is a key part of a policy-as-code strategy, as it ensures that all new infrastructure and applications are automatically monitored according to organizational standards. You can define monitors, dashboards, synthetic tests, and security rules declaratively, ensuring consistent observability and alerting across your entire environment.

✨ Key Features

  • Manage Datadog monitors and alerts
  • Define SLOs (Service Level Objectives)
  • Configure security monitoring rules
  • Create and update dashboards
  • Manage synthetic API and browser tests

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Manage monitoring policies with general-purpose languages
  • Tightly couple monitoring configuration with the infrastructure it monitors
  • Version-controlled, reusable monitoring components

Unique Value: Codify your organization's monitoring and observability policies, ensuring that all systems are consistently and correctly monitored from the moment they are created.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Enforcing a policy that every new service must have a corresponding set of monitors for latency, errors, and traffic Automatically creating dashboards for new microservices Defining security monitoring rules to detect threats like exposed S3 buckets or unusual IAM activity Managing SLOs for critical user journeys as code

✅ Best For

  • A Pulumi Component resource that deploys a new microservice and, as part of its definition, also creates the necessary Datadog monitors and SLOs for that service.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Configuring the Datadog agent itself (usually done with configuration management tools)
  • Managing infrastructure outside of Datadog

🏆 Alternatives

Terraform Datadog Provider Datadog API scripts

Instead of manually creating monitors in the Datadog UI, which leads to inconsistency and toil, the Pulumi provider allows you to automate and standardize your monitoring setup as part of your application's definition.
