Datadog proof types and queries

Note

Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.

When you create a Hypersync between Hyperproof and Datadog, you can automatically collect the following proof types:

Note

You only need to connect Hyperproof to the app once, and then you can create as many Hypersyncs as you need. Additionally, you can create multiple Hypersyncs for a single control or label.

Connection configuration

To connect to Datadog and collect proof, your Datadog configuration must meet the following requirements.

Step One: Create a new Hypersync role

  1. Sign in to your Datadog account.

  2. In the bottom left-corner, hover over your name.

  3. From the Organization settings, select Roles.

  4. Highlight Datadog Read Only Role, then click the Clone icon.

  5. Add a name for the new role, i.e. Hyperproof/Hypersync Role.

  6. Configure the minimum required permissions for the Hypersync to work:

    User App Keys

    Note

    This permission is NOT automatically included in the cloned Datadog Read Only Role, and needs to be manually added. This is required so the Hypersync can query metadata from the App Key belonging to the service account.

    Client Tokens Read

    RUM Apps Read

    Dashboards Read

    Incidents Read
