Overview

Amazon Trusted Advisor is an online tool that provides you real time guidance to help you provision your resources following AWS best practices.

Enable this integration to see all your Trusted Advisor metrics in Datadog.

Note: This integration only works for AWS customers with a Business or Enterprise support plan.

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

In the IAM Console, add support:describe* and support:refresh* as an action in the policy document field. For more information about the AWS Support API, see the documentation on the AWS website.
In the AWS integration tile, ensure that TrustedAdvisor is checked under metric collection.
Install the Datadog - Amazon Trusted Advisor integration.

Configure Amazon Trusted Advisor to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to Cloudwatch.

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

If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function.
Once the lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or Cloudwatch log group that contains your Amazon Trusted Advisor logs in the AWS console:
- Add a manual trigger on the S3 bucket
- Add a manual trigger on the Cloudwatch Log Group
