# Post AppDynamics Events to Datadog

This article allows you to submit events from your AppDynamics Application into your Datadog Event explorer. **Note**: This plug-in was written by the team at AppDynamics and is not supported by Datadog. Should you encounter any issues [contact the AppDynamics Support team](https://www.appdynamics.com/support)

Prerequisites: Running AppDynamics 4.1 or later

First, create a Datadog Policy Single Violation Only HTTP Template:

```json
{
  "title": "${latestEvent.displayName} - ${policy.name} ",
  "text": "${latestEvent.summaryMessage} ${latestEvent.guid} ${latestEvent.eventTypeKey} Policy Name - ${policy.name} Policy ID - ${policy.id}  Policy Digest : ${policy.digest} ${policy.digestDurationInMins} ",
  "alert_type": "${topSeverity}",
  "priority": "${priority}",
  "aggregation_key": " ${policy.id} ",
  "tags": [
    "guid:${latestEvent.guid}",
    "eventid:${latestEvent.id}",
    "environment:${Environment}",
    "os:${OS}",
    "platform:${Platform}"
  ]
}
```
