Datadog

Ingest traces and metrics for every request and optionally update monitors after certificates are validated.

Monthly verification • last run September 2025

Modes & scopes

  • Read-first
  • Write-gated (monitor updates)

Scopes

  • API key with read metrics scope
  • Application key for monitor management (optional)

Runbook highlights

Connection modes

PrivateLink ingestion endpoints; API keys stored in your secrets manager.

Learning Controls

Evaluation contracts check latency and cost telemetry before automations change monitors.

Evidence

Certificates capture monitor IDs, dashboard URLs, and OpenTelemetry span IDs.

Sample automations & evidence

Sample automations

  • Correlate certificate IDs with latency regressions
  • Open change-freeze alert when drift crosses threshold

Action Certificate mapping

Every certificate embeds connector identifiers, residency policy hashes, and Learning Control references so downstream systems can verify scope before allowing writes. Export verification logs to Splunk/Datadog using thetrustplane.certificate_id attribute.
