Google Workspace Alert Center

To find out if this integration is available in your organization, see your Datadog Integrations page or ask your organization administrator.

To initiate an exception request to enable this integration for your organization, email support@ddog-gov.com.

Overview

Alert Center provides a comprehensive view of essential security-related notifications, alerts, and actions across all of Google Workspace. Integrate the Google Workspace Alert Center with Datadog to:

Setup

Installation

This integration uses a Google Cloud service account to call the Alert Center API on your behalf. You need Google Workspace super admin access to complete this setup.

Enable the Google Workspace Alert Center API before you begin.

  1. Follow the Create a service account section in Google’s service account instructions. Save the private key JSON file when it is generated.
  2. Follow the Delegate domain-wide authority to the service account section in those instructions. Grant the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.alerts scope.
  3. Open the Datadog Google Workspace Alert Center integration tile.
  4. On the Configuration tab, select Upload Private Key File and choose the private key JSON file from step 1.
  5. Enter the Subject Email: a Google Workspace user or robot account with Alert Center access. Do not use the service account email. The integration impersonates this user when making API calls.

To monitor multiple projects, repeat these steps with a service account for each project.

Configuration

You can specify custom tags per project. These tags are added to every log event for that project in Datadog.

Results

Wait at least five minutes to see logs under the source google.workspace.alert.center. It may take longer if your environment generates Alert Center alerts infrequently.
