3. Enter the name of your integration and paste the API Key token.
4. Configure your action. Enter the Event title and Content fields (you can use environment variables)

The full list of supported variables is available here.

Setting up Datadog Service Check integration

提示

Although the monitor scope (host) is limited to a specific pipeline, you can add tags within the Datadog panel with information about the workspace and the project where the pipeline is located.

Since the forwarded status is fixed and cannot be changed, make sure to add the action at the multiple stages of the pipeline:

• Status: OK – at the very end of the pipeline (sent only if all actions have finished successfully)
• Status: WARNING – in the On failure section (sent only if something went wrong)

With everything configured correctly, Buddy will update your status history with every triggered execution:
