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
- macOS operating system
- Node.js application
- Homebrew (recommended for Agent installation)
- Administrator privileges for some configuration steps
- 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 macOS.
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
