This guide walks you through gathering the credentials needed to create
a Datadog SIEM integration in Synqly.

## Obtain Datadog Credentials

### 1. Get your API Key

Log in to your Datadog account. Navigate to **Organization Settings > API Keys**.
Click **+ New Key**, give it a name, and click **Create Key**. Copy the key
value — it is shown only once. Store it securely.

For more information, see
[Datadog API and Application Keys](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/api-app-keys/).

### 2. Get your Application Key

Navigate to **Organization Settings > Application Keys**. Click **+ New Key**,
give it a name, and click **Create Key**. Copy the key value — it is shown
only once. Store it securely.

The application key is required for querying events and alerts.

### 3. Identify your Datadog site

Determine which Datadog site your organization uses (e.g. `datadoghq.com`
for US1, `datadoghq.eu` for EU1, `us3.datadoghq.com` for US3). You can
find this in your browser's address bar when logged in.

For the full list, see
[Datadog Sites](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/).

## Configure the Integration

Create your integration by supplying the following values:

**Credential (API Key)**

The API key obtained in step 1.

**Application Key Credential**

The application key obtained in step 2.

**Site**

Your Datadog site identifier (e.g. `datadoghq.com`). Defaults to
`datadoghq.com` if not specified.
