Overview

App and API Protection leverages the Datadog Python library to monitor and secure your Python service. The library integrates seamlessly with your existing application without requiring code changes.

For detailed compatibility information, including supported Python versions, frameworks, and deployment environments, see Python Compatibility Requirements.

This guide explains how to set up App and API Protection (AAP) for Python applications. The setup involves:

1. Installing the Datadog Agent
2. Enabling App and API Protection monitoring
3. Running your Python application with the Datadog Agent
4. Verifying the setup

Requisitos previos

• Entorno de AWS Fargate
• Aplicación Python en contenedores con Docker
• AWS CLI configurado con los permisos adecuados
• Tu clave de API Datadog
• Biblioteca de rastreo Python de Datadog (consulta requisitos de la versión)

1. Instalación del Datadog Agent

Instala el Datadog Agent en la definición de tu tarea de Fargate:

{
  "containerDefinitions": [
    {
      "name": "datadog-agent",
      "image": "public.ecr.aws/datadog/agent:latest",
      "environment": [
        {
          "name": "DD_API_KEY",
          "value": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_APM_ENABLED",
          "value": "true"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_APM_NON_LOCAL_TRAFFIC",
          "value": "true"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

2. Activación de la monitorización de App and API Protection

Automatically enabling App and API Protection through Remote Configuration

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".

Activación manual de la monitorización de App and API Protection

Instala la biblioteca de rastreo Python de Datadog en tu entorno de aplicación:

RUN pip install ddtrace

Configura y ejecuta tu servicio con Datadog:

{
  "containerDefinitions": [
    {
      "name": "your-python-app",
      "image": "your-python-app-image",
      "environment": [
        {
          "name": "DD_APPSEC_ENABLED",
          "value": "true"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_SERVICE",
          "value": "<YOUR_SERVICE_NAME>"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_ENV",
          "value": "<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT>"
        }
      ],
      "command": [
        "ddtrace-run",
        "python",
        "app.py"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

{
  "containerDefinitions": [
    {
      "name": "your-python-app",
      "image": "your-python-app-image",
      "environment": [
        {
          "name": "DD_APPSEC_ENABLED",
          "value": "true"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_APM_TRACING_ENABLED",
          "value": "false"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_SERVICE",
          "value": "<YOUR_SERVICE_NAME>"
        },
        {
          "name": "DD_ENV",
          "value": "<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT>"
        }
      ],
      "command": [
        "ddtrace-run",
        "python",
        "app.py"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

3. Ejecuta tu aplicación

Despliega tu tarea de Fargate con la configuración actualizada:

aws ecs register-task-definition --cli-input-json file://task-definition.json
aws ecs run-task --cluster your-cluster --task-definition your-task-definition

4. Verify setup

To verify that App and API Protection is working correctly:

1. Send some traffic to your application.
2. Check for security signals and vulnerabilities in the Application Signals Explorer in Datadog.
