Okta

Overview

Connect Okta to integrate your Okta system event logs into Datadog Log Management.

These logs give you greater visibility into access and lifecycle events from all of your applications, users, and more. The Datadog Okta integration enables you to detect threats to your applications, track user activity, debug authentication and authorization issues, and create an audit trail for regulatory compliance.

See the Okta Event Types API for all the Okta events that Datadog can track.

SSO with SAML
