Overview

Buddy is a continuous integration automation platform that can be used to build, test, and deploy web sites and applications.

The Buddy integration enables you to:

• Send events about your Buddy deployments to Datadog.
• Correlate deployment details with your Datadog metrics.
• Detect sources of performance spikes in your pipelines.

Setup

• In your Datadog account settings go to Integrations -> APIs and copy the API Key token.

• Sign in to your Buddy account and go to the pipeline with the deployment action that you want to track.

• Click the plus at the end of the pipeline and select Datadog in the Notifications section.

• Enter the name of your Datadog account and paste the API key that you copied.

• Use Buddy parameters to define the title of the event and content sent, for example:

# Event title
${'${execution.pipeline.name} execution #${execution.id}'}

# Content
${'${execution.to_revision.revision} - ${execution.to_revision.message}'}

• When ready, click Add action and run the pipeline. On every successful deployment, Buddy sends an event to Datadog:
