Prerequisites

  • Datadog Agent version 7.46 or later.

Installation

    1. Add the following to the spec section of the datadog-agent.yaml file:

      # datadog-agent.yaml file
apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v2alpha1
kind: DatadogAgent
metadata:
  name: datadog
spec:
  features:
    remoteConfiguration:
      enabled: true
    # Enables Threat Detection
    cws:
      enabled: true
    # Enables Misconfigurations
    cspm:
      enabled: true
      hostBenchmarks:
        enabled: true
    # Enables the image metadata collection and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) collection
    sbom:
      enabled: true
      # Enables Container Vulnerability Management
      # Image collection is enabled by default with Datadog Operator version `>= 1.3.0`
      containerImage:
        enabled: true

        # Uncomment the following line if you are using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes (EKS)
        # uncompressedLayersSupport: true

      # Enables Host Vulnerability Management
      host:
        enabled: true

    2. Apply the changes and restart the Agent.

    1. Add the following to the datadog section of the datadog-values.yaml file:

      # datadog-values.yaml file
datadog:
  remoteConfiguration:
    enabled: true
  securityAgent:
    # Enables Threat Detection
    runtime:
      enabled: true
    # Enables Misconfigurations
    compliance:
      enabled: true
      host_benchmarks:
        enabled: true
  sbom:
    containerImage:
      enabled: true

      # Uncomment the following line if you are using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes (EKS)
      # uncompressedLayersSupport: true

    # Enables Host Vulnerability Management
    host:
      enabled: true

    # Enables Container Vulnerability Management
    # Image collection is enabled by default with Datadog Helm version `>= 3.46.0`
    # containerImageCollection:
    #   enabled: true

    2. Restart the Agent.

    Add the following settings to the env section of security-agent and system-probe in the daemonset.yaml file:

      # Source: datadog/templates/daemonset.yaml
  apiVersion:app/1
  kind: DaemonSet

            [...]

                value: "true"
              - name: DD_SBOM_CONTAINER_IMAGE_USE_MOUNT
                value: "true"
