Datadog Integration

You can integrate Bot Defender with Datadog to map BD-related logs to standard attributes within your Datadog platform. The integration also adds the HUMAN Bot Defender console to your Datadog dashboard, letting you to see key data points and identify potential spikes in activity across HUMAN logs from within Datadog.

HUMAN metrics are not supported in the tile integration. While HUMAN does support exporting both logs and metrics to the Datadog platform, the tile integration will only provide insight into the exported logs. You will need to develop your own insights from the exported metrics.
