Connect Slack to Datadog in order to help your team collaborate by:
Sharing graphs with your colleagues in your team’s private or public channels.
Receiving alerts and notifications from Datadog within Slack.
Setup
Installation
The Slack integration is installed via its integration tile in the Datadog application.
Configuration
In your Slack account, go to the Applications page and search for Datadog.
Click Install –> Add Integration, then copy the Slack Webhook URL.
Navigate to the Datadog-Slack integration tile and paste the Webhook URL in the Slack Account Hook field. Also, add a Slack Account Name of your choice.
Click Update Configuration.
Add your Slack Channels to post to with their associated Slack Account:
If you would like to be notified for every comment on a graph, tick the check box Transfer all user comments by each channel. If this box is left unchecked, you must use the @slack-account_name-channel_name syntax in order for comments to be posted to Slack. You may use @slack-channel_name if you are only using one account or referring to the first account.
You can also configure sending alerts to Slack from monitors and the event stream.
