Quick Start Guide - Datadog Connector for Confluence¶
The following is intended to be a quick start for those familiar with managing Datadog and are looking to quickly deploy Datadog Connector for Confluence.
Prerequisites¶
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- Confluence Admin permissions to install the app.
- The
dashboards_public_share
permission on Datadog to generate embed codes for the graphs. - An active Confluence Cloud space where you can create pages.
Step 1. Installation¶
- Install Datadog Connector for Confluence on the Atlassian Marketplace on your desired Confluence instance.
- Once installed, you can find Datadog Connector for Confluence in the top-level Apps menu, under Manage apps.
- The app does not require any admin configurations.
Step 2. Test Embedding a Datadog Graph in a Confluence Page¶
The app does not require any global or space level configuration. You can start embedding Datadog graphs once you've finished the above steps. Let's give it a try.
