März 2026 * * ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 4 Minuten Lesedauer Set up scheduled import jobs to pull in Datadog data into your Configuration Management Database (CMDB). ## Vorbereitungen * Install Service Graph Connector for Observability - Datadog version 1.3.0 or later from the ServiceNow Store. For ServiceNow Store installation steps, see [Install a ServiceNow Store application](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_InstallApplications&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US). * Install the Observability Commons for CMDB application (sn_observability), which is only required for event ingestion. This application must be installed prior to installing the connector for Event Management to work. For more information, see [Observability Commons for CMDB](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/97e04562072020107add6a77c4a9351a) on the ServiceNow Store. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__ul_zqq_5zj_ddc} Role required: The following table shows the roles required for each stage of the playbook.{#sgcc-configure-datadog__table_zcy_w5p_4hc__entry__2} | Stage | Role | |-|-| | Prerequisites | admin | | Setup | SGC-Admin (sn_cmdb_int_util.sgc_admin) or admin | [Tabelle : 1. Role required for each playbook stage] {#sgcc-configure-datadog__table_zcy_w5p_4hc} Hinweis: The admin user role is required to run background scripts and to provide access to global tables to the SGC-Admin user. For information about the user roles for Service Graph Connectors, see [Service Graph Connector user roles](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1wLEV8ubYlPM_nDUSO~F~Q#cmdb-sgc-intro__section_ett_spp_4hc). ## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird The playbook experience for onboarding connectors is activated with SGC Central in the Service Graph Workspace or CMDB Workspace. To configure the SGC Central application, see [Configuring SGC Central](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/UnQAG~FYFjoCfIHuaKAkKw "Set up the SGC Central application for onboarding and maintaining Service Graph Connectors and monitoring the errors related to connections added using Service Graph Connectors.") and for more information on how to interact with a playbook, see [Interact with Playbook](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=playbook-ui&version=australia&pubname=australia-build-workflows&ft:locale=en-US). ## Prozedur 1. Use one of the following methods to open SGC Central: * Navigate to WorkspacesService Graph Workspace, and from the left navigation panel, select the Ingestion icon ![]() to open the SGC Central view. * Navigate to WorkspacesCMDB WorkspaceSGC Central. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__choices_bd1_nrz_k3c} 2. Navigate to WorkspacesCMDB Workspace. 3. In the CMDB Workspace, select SGC Central. 4. On the Overview page, select Create connection. Tipp: Alternatively, you can select Create connection on the All connections page. 5. On the Create connection window, select the Datadog connector type, and then select Configure connection. A default connection, SGO-Datadog Connection, for Datadog is available within the application. As the Service Graph Connector for Observability - Datadog supports only a single instance, you can configure the default connection for the first time or resume editing it thereafter. 6. Install the Observability Commons for CMDB application (sn_observability) for event ingestion. Hinweis: The Install Observability Commons for CMDB activity appears only when the Observability Commons for CMDB application (sn_observability) isn't already installed. If event ingestion isn't needed, you can skip this step by selecting Continue for the Install Observability Commons for CMDB activity. 1. In the Prerequisites stage of the playbook, select the Install Observability Commons for CMDB activity. 2. Install the [Observability Commons for CMDB](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/97e04562072020107add6a77c4a9351a) application (sn_observability) from the ServiceNow Store. 3. After you have installed the application, select Continue. 7. Enter connection details and test the API connection for importing Datadog data. 1. In the Setup stage of the playbook, select the Create and test connection activity. 2. On the form, fill in the fields. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__table_ahn_xtg_rmb__entry__2} | Field | Description | |:-|:-| | Connection name | Name to identify the Datadog connection record. | | Connection URL | Base URL for the Datadog API endpoint. | | API key | Datadog API token. | | Application key | Datadog application key that works together with the API key to provide user-level authentication. | [Tabelle : 2. Configure and test connection form] {#sgcc-configure-datadog__table_ahn_xtg_rmb} 3. Select Update and test connection. 4. Once the connection test is complete, select Continue. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__substeps_p1l_fnb_gcc} 8. **Wahlweise:** Configure the connector properties to access resources. Hinweis: To skip this step, select Continue for the Set configuration properties activity. 1. In the Setup stage of the playbook, select the Set configuration properties activity. 2. In the Hosts filter field, enter host tags in the `key:value` format to import data only from hosts that match the specified tags in Datadog. Hinweis: For multiple entries, separate the tags with commas. Example: `datadog:monitored,env:production`. In the example, the filter includes monitored hosts in the `key:value` format as `datadog:monitored` and `env:production`. Therefore, the data from only these hosts with matching tags are imported. 3. Select Continue. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__substeps_jcd_f4y_ffc} 9. **Wahlweise:** Fetch monitors from Datadog to use the webhook for sending updates to your ServiceNow instance. Hinweis: This step appears only when the Observability Commons for CMDB application (sn_observability) is installed on your instance. To skip this step, select Skip for the Configure observability activity. 1. In the Setup stage of the playbook, select the Configure observability activity. 2. To fetch all the monitors from the Datadog environment, select Fetch monitors. 3. After fetching the Datadog monitors, select the check boxes next to the monitor names in the Datadog monitors section and then mark them as active by selecting Mark as active. In the table of fetched monitors, the active monitors are set to true, and inactive monitors are set to false in the Webhook Active cell for that monitor. Hinweis: * At least one Datadog monitor must be active for observability to work. * To exclude a monitor, double-click the value in the Webhook Active cell for that monitor in the table of fetched monitors, select false (if it is currently set to true), and then select OK. * Any update in the Webhook Active value is synced between ServiceNow and Datadog. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__ul_dfz_w5y_ffc} 4. When at least one monitor is set to true, select Continue for the Configure observability activity. 10. Configure the import schedule to import data at regular intervals. 1. In the Setup stage of the playbook, select the Configure import schedule activity. 2. Expand the Parent scheduled data import within the Import schedules list and select the SGO Datadog - Hosts import schedule. 3. Select the Active check box, and then fill in the run schedule and time details. For more information, see [Schedule a data import](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ScheduleADataImport&version=australia&pubname=australia-integrate-applications&ft:locale=en-US#table_r53_5hm_xp). 4. Select Save. Alternatively, select Execute Now to execute the import schedule immediately. 5. Select Continue. {#sgcc-configure-datadog__substeps_lf4_yvw_fcc} 11. In the Setup stage of the playbook, select the Confirm connection creation activity to verify whether the connection was configured. ## Nächste Maßnahme Select View all connections to review the connection details. The created connection appears in the Installed connections list. **Zugehörige Konzepte** * [Service Graph Connector for Observability - Datadog](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~pdubk5jzVgZnLcht23Q1Q "Use the Service Graph Connector for Observability - Datadog to ingest CMDB data from a Datadog installation using REST APIs.
