You can enable App and API Protection for Node.js services with the following setup options:
- If your Node.js service already has APM tracing set up and running, then skip to service configuration
- If your Node.js service doesn't have APM tracing set up, you can easily enable App and API Protection with Datadog's Automatic Installation
- Otherwise, keep reading the following manual setup instructions
Overview
App and API Protection works by leveraging the Datadog Node.js library to monitor and secure your Node.js service. The library integrates seamlessly with your existing application without requiring code changes.
For detailed compatibility information, including supported Node.js versions, frameworks, and deployment environments, see Node.js Compatibility Requirements.
This guide explains how to set up App and API Protection (AAP) for Node.js applications. The setup involves:
- Installing the Datadog Agent
- Enabling App and API Protection monitoring
- Running your Node.js application with the Datadog Agent
- Verifying the setup
Prerequisites
- Linux operating system
- Node.js application
- Root or sudo privileges
- Systemd (for service management)
- Your Datadog API key
- Datadog Node.js tracing library (see version requirements)
1. Installing the Datadog Agent
Install the Datadog Agent by following the setup instructions for Linux hosts.
2. Enabling App and API Protection monitoring
Automatically enabling App and API Protection through Remote Configuration
APM Tracing cannot be disabled for the time being with remote config.
You can enable remote configuration on your services dashboard.
Simply check the box for the service you want to enable App and API Protection for under "Activate on your APM services".
Manually enabling App and API Protection monitoring
Install the latest version of the Datadog Node.js library:
Start your Node.js application with the Datadog library and App and API Protection enabled:
DD_APPSEC_ENABLED=true DD_SERVICE=<YOUR_SERVICE_NAME> DD_ENV=<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT> node --require dd-trace/init app.js
To disable APM tracing while keeping App and API Protection enabled, you must set the APM tracing variable to false.
Start your Node.js application with the Datadog library and App and API Protection enabled:
DD_APPSEC_ENABLED=true DD_APM_TRACING_ENABLED=false DD_SERVICE=<YOUR_SERVICE_NAME> DD_ENV=<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT> node --require dd-trace/init app.js
3. Run your application
Start your Node.js application with the configured settings.
4. Verify setup
To verify that App and API Protection is working correctly:
- Send some traffic to your application
- Check the Application Signals Explorer in Datadog
- Look for security signals and vulnerabilities
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while setting up App and API Protection for your Node.js application, see the Node.js App and API Protection troubleshooting guide.
