> This feature was introduced in _Unleash v4.0.0_.
The Datadog integration allows Unleash to post Updates to Datadog when a feature toggle is updated. To set up this integration, you need to set up a webhook connector for your channel. You can follow [Submitting events to Datadog](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/events/#post-an-event) on how to do that.
The Datadog integration will perform a single retry if the HTTP POST against the Datadog Webhook URL fails (either a 50x or network error). Duplicate events may happen, and you should never assume events always comes in order.
## Configuration {#configuration}
#### Events {#events}
You can choose to trigger updates for the following events:
- feature-created
- feature-updated (*)
- feature-metadata-updated
- feature-project-change
- feature-archived
- feature-revived
- feature-strategy-update
- feature-strategy-add
- feature-strategy-remove
- feature-stale-on
- feature-stale-off
- feature-environment-enabled
- feature-environment-disabled
- feature-environment-variants-updated
- feature-potentially-stale-on
> *) Deprecated, and will not be used after transition to environments in Unleash v4.3
#### Parameters {#parameters}
Unleash Datadog integration takes the following parameters.
- **Datadog Events URL** - This is an optional property. The default URL is https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/events. If you are not not using the US1 [Datadog site](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/), you'll need to change this. Some instances and their URLs are:
- EU: https://app.datadoghq.eu/api/v1/events
- US1: https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/events
- US3: https://us3.datadoghq.com/api/v1/events
- US1-FED: https://app.ddog-gov.com/api/v1/events
- **Datadog API key** - This is a required property. The API key to use to authenticate with Datadog.
- **Datadog Source Type Name** - This is an optional property. Sets `source_type_name` parameter to be included in Datadog events.
- **Extra HTTP Headers** - This is an optional property. Used to set the additional headers when Unleash communicates with Datadog.
Example:
```json
{
"SOME_CUSTOM_HTTP_HEADER": "SOME_VALUE",
"SOME_OTHER_CUSTOM_HTTP_HEADER": "SOME_OTHER_VALUE"
}
```
:::info Body template availability
The body template property will be introduced as a beta feature in Unleash 5.5 and is expected to be made generally available in Unleash 5.6.
:::
- **Body template** - This is an optional property. The template is used to override the body template used by Unleash when performing the HTTP POST. You can format your message using a [Mustache template](https://mustache.github.io). Refer to the [Unleash event types](/reference/event-types) reference to find out which event properties you have access to in the template.
Example:
```mustache
{
"event": "{{event.type}}",
"createdBy": "{{event.createdBy}}",
"featureToggle": "{{event.data.name}}",
"timestamp": "{{event.data.createdAt}}"
}
```
If you don't specify anything Unleash will send a formatted markdown body.
Example:
```markdown
username created feature toggle (featurename)[http://your.url/projects/projectname/features/featurename] in project *projectname*
```
#### Tags {#tags}
Datadog's incoming webhooks are app specific. You will be able to create multiple integrations to support messaging on different apps.
