AWS Key Management Service (KMS)

Overview

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service that makes it easy for you to create and control the encryption keys used to encrypt your data.

Enable this integration to see in Datadog all your KMS metrics.

Setup

Installation

If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.

Metric collection

  1. In the AWS integration page, ensure that KMS is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.

  2. Install the Datadog - AWS Key Management Service (KMS) integration.

Log collection

Enable logging

Configure AWS KMS to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.

Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_kms is set as Target prefix.

Send logs to Datadog

  1. If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog Forwarder Lambda function.

  2. Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your AWS KMS logs in the AWS console:
