Getting Started with Datadog Sites

Application Keys Permissions

Application Keys default to Not Scoped, meaning full access is granted, and users can use them without any adjustments. If you want to implement minimal permission management, Syncause data integration requires Application Keys to have the following permissions:

• apm_read
• timeseries_query
• logs_read_data
• logs_read_index_data

Edit Application Keys Permissions

Click the user avatar at the bottom left -> select Application Keys.

Select the Application Key created for Syncause integration.

Click the Edit button next to Scope.

In the Scope list, select the minimal permissions as described in the "Application Keys Permissions" section above, and save at the bottom right.

DataDog env

Select the environment variable for the application to be monitored, and fill it into the DataDog env parameter. For multiple environment variables, create multiple DataDog integrations for management.
