Overview

This guide walks you through generating the necessary API and application keys in Datadog to enable the Antimetal integration.

Set up in Antimetal

Go to the Datadog integration setup in the Antimetal dashboard.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Datadog account with permissions to generate API keys
  • Access to Organization Settings in Datadog

​
Setup

1

Navigate to Organization Settings

Go to Datadog, click on your user icon (bottom left), and select Organization Settings.
2

Create an API key

Click API Keys in the left sidebar, then select New Key. Name it Antimetal.
Save the secret API key securely — it won’t be shown again.
3

Create an Application key

Click Application Keys in the left sidebar, then click New Key. Name it Antimetal.
4

(Optional) Edit app key scopes

By default, the app key inherits the owner’s permissions. To limit access, click Edit Scopes and grant read access to:
  • APM
  • Case and Incident Management
  • Compliance
  • Dashboards
  • Error Tracking
  • Events
  • Log Management
  • Metrics
  • Monitors
  • Service Level Objectives
  • Synthetics
See the full list of permissions.
5

Share the keys with Antimetal

Paste the keys and select your region in the Antimetal UI.
You can find your region by looking at your Datadog URL (e.g., app.datadoghq.eu for EU).
