# Datadog integration

Data export

Data export actions

You can integrate Sightline Cyberfraud Defense with Datadog to map logs to standard attributes within your Datadog platform. The integration also adds the HUMAN Sightline console to your Datadog dashboard. This lets you to see key data points and identify potential spikes in activity across HUMAN logs from within Datadog.

You can use the Datadog integration to create a [data export](/applications/create-a-data-export) or trigger it with a [data export action](/applications/data-export-actions).

> **Note**
>
> HUMAN metrics aren't 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.
