Seamless integration of Datadog with All Quiet through a Webhook Call

When it comes to monitoring and incident response, Datadog is a popular choice for many organizations. To truly optimize your incident management workflow, it's essential to connect Datadog's powerful notifications to a reliable incident platform.

In this guide, we'll explore how you can effortlessly integrate Datadog's notifications with Webhooks in All Quiet, taking your incident management to the next level.

Create an integration on All Quiet

Create a Datadog integration

Go to your "Dashboard" on All Quiet
Click on the "Integrations" Tab
Click on "Create integration"

Select Datadog for the integration's type

Enter a display name for your Datadog integration, e.g. "Datadog Webhook"
Select "Datadog" as the type
Click "Create integration"

Get the All Quiet webhook URL

Copy your integration's webhook URL. You'll need it later on the Datadog platform.

Configure Datadog

The following steps will be done on the Datadog platform. So, log in to Datadog with your account.

Install Webhooks integration

In the navigation menu, click on "Integrations"
Install the "Webhooks" integration and configure it

Create a new webhook

In the "Configuration" tab, click on "New Webhook"

Configure Datadog webhook

Give your webhook a name, e.g. "All-Quiet-Webhook"
Paste in the All Quiet webhook URL you've obtained in step 1.3.
Configure the payload that Datadog should send to All Quiet. You can copy & paste the JSON snippet datadog-payload.json provided.
Finally, save the integration.


          {
            "body": "$EVENT_MSG",
            "last_updated": "$LAST_UPDATED",
            "event_type": "$EVENT_TYPE",
            "title": "$EVENT_TITLE",
            "date": "$DATE",
            "org": {
                "id": "$ORG_ID",
                "name": "$ORG_NAME"
            },
            "id": "$ID",    
            "alert_id": "$ALERT_ID",
            "alert_status": "$ALERT_STATUS",
            "alert_title": "$ALERT_TITLE",
            "alert_type": "$ALERT_TYPE",
            "alert_metric": "$ALERT_METRIC",
            "alert_priority": "$ALERT_PRIORITY",
            "link":"$LINK"
        }

Configure your monitor

Click on "Monitors"
Select one of your monitors and open its edit page. In this example, the monitor's name was "My Watchdog Monitor".
In the subsection "Notify your team", tag your newly created hook with "@webhook-Your-Webhook-Name". This will tell Datadog to use your webhook integration as a notification destination.

Set your monitor's priority

Navigate to "Notify your team"
At the bottom, you'll find a select box to set the priority of your monitor.
P0 will map to severity Critical
P1,P2 will map to severity Warning
P3,P4,P5 will map to severity Minor
If you don't specify a priority, the incident's severity will be Critical

Test notifications

These steps are important to successfully test your Datadog integration on the All Quiet side.

Click on "Test notifications" at the very bottom of the edit page.
Click on "Run Test" to send out notifications to your newly created All Quiet integration.

Finally, don't forget to save your integration!

Test & Save Datadog Integration on All Quiet

You're almost done. 🥳 The next steps are merely there to verify if everything's setup correctly!

Test Payload

Go back to your All Quiet Datadog integration that you've created in step 1.1

Click ← Select to load the test incident's payload that was created in step 2.6 into the payload field.
You can see how the mapping will transform the Datadog payload to an All Quiet incident.
