Configure your environment for Datadog
This article describes how to set up your environment before deploying your first instance of Datadog.
Prerequisites
- An Azure account with an active subscription is required. If you don't already have one, you can create an account for free.
- Your Azure role must be set to Owner or a Contributor for the subscription. Confirm that you have the appropriate access before you begin.
Add enterprise application
To use the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) single sign-on (SSO) feature within the Datadog resource, you must set up an enterprise application. To add an enterprise application, you need one of these roles: Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
Use the following steps to set up the enterprise application:
Go to Azure portal. Select Microsoft Entra ID.
In the left pane, select Manage > Enterprise applications.
Select New Application.
In Add from the gallery, search for Datadog. Select the search result then select Add.
Once the app is created, go to properties from the side panel. Set User assignment required? to No, and select Save.
Go to Single sign-on from the side panel. Then select SAML.
Select Yes when prompted to save single sign-on settings.
The setup of single sign-on is now complete.
