Customize Datadog connection

PubSub+ Event Broker

Hi All,

Is it possible to customize the data sent to DataDog from PubSub+ Cloud.

In datadog there is a team tag so wondering if it’s possible to assign that tag to payloads coming in on specific topics or as a header/property?

This would allow us more flexibility into assigning Dashboards to specific teams based on RBAC.

Cheers

Let me analyze the question and the provided facts.

The question asks about customizing data sent to DataDog from PubSub+ Cloud by adding team tags to payloads coming in on specific topics or as a header/property to allow more flexibility in assigning Dashboards to specific teams based on RBAC.

After reviewing the facts, there is no direct information about the ability to customize data sent to DataDog by adding team tags to payloads or headers. However, there are some relevant points to consider:

  1. PubSub+ Insights data forwarding to customer Datadog accounts is available as a Controlled Availability feature, which allows customers to:
  • Forward monitoring data to their own Datadog account
  • Centralize data alongside other infrastructure data
  • Allow application teams to make sense of data using familiar tools
  • Provide wider access to PubSub+ Insights data
  1. For customizing monitors and dashboards, customers can:
  • Clone existing monitors and dashboards
  • Create custom monitors and views
  • Add custom widgets
  • Create custom filters
  • Mute specific monitors
  • Schedule downtime for monitors

However, there is no explicit mention of the ability to add team tags to payloads or headers for RBAC purposes.

Therefore, I would respond:

I don’t have specific information about adding team tags to payloads or headers for RBAC purposes in DataDog. However, you might find relevant information in the following sources:
