Connect Datadog

Send Datadog monitor alerts to UptimeWave, including the client address for blocking.

Last reviewed November 11, 2026

Create an Incoming alerts monitor, choose Datadog, and keep its address and payload handy. The monitor page shows the exact text to paste.

  1. In Datadog open Integrations, find Webhooks and choose New Webhook.
  2. Name it, for example uptime-alerts, and paste the monitor's address in the URL field.
  3. Paste the payload we show you into the Payload field. It uses Datadog's own variables, so leave the dollar signs as they are.
  4. If you set a shared secret, add a custom header named X-Alert-Secret with the secret.
  5. In each Datadog monitor, add @webhook-uptime-alerts (your webhook name) to the notification message for Alert and Recovery.

Sending the offender's address

To block an address from an alert, Datadog has to send it. Set the Datadog monitor to alert per group by the client address (a multi alert on, for example, the client IP). Datadog then sends the address with each alert. Alerts without an address are never blocked.
