In addition to setting up CSM with or without an Agent, you can also set it up without Infrastructure Monitoring.

  1. Navigate to the AWS Integration configuration page in Datadog.

  2. On the Configuration tab, select the account you want to enable CSM on.

    If you don’t see the required account, add it by clicking Add AWS Account(s) and following the onscreen prompts.

  3. To turn off infrastructure monitoring on a given account, under the selected account number, navigate to the Metric Collection tab, then click the disable metric collection link. Then, click Disable Metric Collection to confirm.

  4. To turn on CSM, on the Resource Collection tab, turn on the Enable Resource Collection toggle, and select the Enable Cloud Security Management checkbox.

  5. Click Save.

Note: In your CSM settings, set up resource evaluation filters to limit the number of hosts you need security on.
