## Overview{% #overview %}

The Datadog-Contrast integration allows you to get your Contrast logs into Datadog.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Log collection{% #log-collection %}

Enable logs collection for Datadog Agent in `/etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml` on Linux platforms. On other platforms, see the [Agent Configuration Files guide](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/guide/agent-configuration-files.md) for the location of your configuration file:

```yaml
logs_enabled: true
```

- Add this configuration block to your `contrastsecurity.d/conf.yaml` file to start collecting your Contrast Logs:

- Create a new `conf.yaml` file.

- Add a custom log collection configuration group.

  ```yaml
  logs:
    - type: file
      path: /path/to/contrast/security.log
      service: contrast
      source: contrastsecurity
  ```

For more information on logs, see the [Contrast Security documentation](https://docs.contrastsecurity.com/).
