# Datadog

Datadog is a monitoring service for cloud-scale applications, providing monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform (see <https://www.datadoghq.com/>). You can protect access to Datadog by integrating Datadog with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Datadog account through Identity as a Service.

note

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.15 and Datadog Release March 1, 2021. Other versions of Datadog may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure.
