About Datadog
A monitoring and analytics platform collects metrics, logs and traces from applications and infrastructure. People use it to observe performance, troubleshoot issues and track changes over time. It provides dashboards, alerts and other visibility features to help teams understand system behavior.
What Cakewalk Does With Datadog
Govern who on your team and which agents can access Datadog. Cakewalk syncs everyone with access to Datadog and what each person can do, discovers the service accounts and agents connected to it, then grants and removes that access automatically.
Integration Capabilities
Cakewalk continuously reads who has access in Datadog and at what level, then reconciles it against your directory of record. Out-of-band and orphaned access is surfaced for review.
Cakewalk provisions and removes Datadog access automatically. When someone joins, changes roles or leaves, their access is granted, adjusted or revoked without a ticket.
Cakewalk discovers the non-human identities tied to Datadog, the service accounts, API keys and AI agents that operate as shadow IT and shadow agents when they go ungoverned. Each one is surfaced and brought under the same access policy and audit log as the people on your team.
Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| A Live Picture of Who Has Access Access Sync | Cakewalk continuously reads who has access in Datadog and at what level, so the list is current instead of a stale export. |
| Access That Slipped Through Access Sync | When access is granted in Datadog outside of policy, the next sync surfaces it for review, so orphaned and out-of-band accounts do not pile up. |
| Day-One Access Without a Ticket Auto Provisioning | When a new hire starts, Cakewalk provisions their Datadog access from policy on day one, with no ticket and no SCIM required. |
| Access That Follows the Person Auto Provisioning | When someone changes teams or leaves, their Datadog access is updated or removed automatically, so it always matches their role. |
| See Every Non-Human Identity NHI Discovery | Cakewalk finds the service accounts, API keys and agents connected to Datadog, so machine access is no longer invisible. |
| An Owner for Every Machine Identity NHI Discovery | Cakewalk ties each service account and agent in Datadog to a human owner, so non-human access is accountable. |
