# AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Datadog Integration

This construct makes it easy to integrate your AWS account with Datadog. It
creates nested stacks based on the official
[Datadog Cloudformation templates](https://github.com/DataDog/cloudformation-template/blob/master/aws/main.yaml)
using [Amazon Cloud Development Kit (CDK)](https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/).

## Warning

:warning: This construct does not use the newest Datadog CloudFormation template because sensitive
parameters must be hard-coded. See https://github.com/DataDog/cloudformation-template/issues/68 for an upstream
feature request. :warning:

This construct will still work, but it cannot be updated to the latest integration template until the upstream
issue is fixed. Please add a +1 to https://github.com/DataDog/cloudformation-template/issues/68 to help
prioritize it.

## Basic Usage

1. Install the package

```console
   npm i --save cdk-datadog-integration
   ```

Or via [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/cdk-datadog-integration/),
   [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/BenLimmer.CdkDatadogIntegration/), or
   [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/blimmer/cdk-datadog-integration/packages).

1. Import the stack and pass the required parameters.

```ts
   import * as cdk from "aws-cdk-lib";
   import { MonitoringInfrastructureStack } from "../lib/monitoring-infrastructure-stack";

const app = new cdk.App();
   new MonitoringInfrastructureStack(app, "MonitoringInfrastructure");
   ```

```ts
   import * as cdk from "aws-cdk-lib";
   import * as secrets from "aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager";
   import { DatadogIntegration } from "cdk-datadog-integration";

export class MonitoringInfrastructureStack extends cdk.Stack {
     constructor(scope: cdk.App, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
       super(scope, id, props);

const datadog = new DatadogIntegration(this, "Datadog", {
         // Generate an ID here: https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#integrations/amazon-web-services
         externalId: "",

// Create or lookup a `Secret` that contains your Datadog API Key
         // See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-secretsmanager-readme.html for details on Secrets in CDK
         // Get your API key here: https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api
         apiKey: secrets.Secret.fromSecretNameV2(
           this,
           "DatadogApiKey",
           "<your secret name>"
         ),
       });
     }
   }
   ```

## Configuration

Use `DatadogIntegrationConfig` to set additional configuration parameters. Check
out
[docs](/API.md#cdk-datadog-integration.DatadogIntegrationConfig)
for more details on what's available.

Additionally, a CDK `Construct` is exposed, should you want to add additional
customizations vs. using the out-of-the-box `Stack`.

## CDK Version Compatibility

This package is expected to work with all recent versions of CDK v2. It has been
tested with 2.1.0 so almost certainly works will all newer versions, and
probably works with some older versions too, but is untested.

If you're still on CDK v1, you can use `cdk-datadog-integration@1`, but this
version is unmaintained. Please upgrade to CDKv2.

## How it Works

This module uses the
[`CfnStack` CDK Construct](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_cloudformation.CfnStack.html)
to import the three CloudFormation stacks referenced by the
[main Datadog CloudFormation template](https://github.com/DataDog/cloudformation-template/tree/master/aws).
By referencing the Datadog-provided templates, you can be confident that the
integration works exactly as Datadog intends.
