# Fabric

## Overview{% #overview %}

**Warning**: This integration has been deprecated and is not being actively developed anymore.

Connect Fabric to Datadog in order to:

- Capture and search for deploy events in the event stream.
- Correlate deploy events with metric changes on dashboards.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Configuration{% #configuration %}

1. Install the dogapi package:

   ```shell
   sudo easy_install --upgrade dogapi
   ```

or:

   ```shell
   sudo pip install dogapi
   ```

1. Import dogapi and configure your API key:

   ```python
   from dogapi.fab import setup, notify
   setup("<YOUR_DATADOG_API_KEY")
   ```

1. Add the notify decorator to each task you want to connect to Datadog. Make sure @notify occurs just above @task

   ```python
   @notify
   @task
   def a_fabric_task(...):
       # do things
   ```
