# Datadog

{% hint style="info" %}
Datadog is an SIEM integration. SIEM integrations are used to perform analysis of any SIEM generated alerts, and/or to use generated data as part of investigation analysis.
{% endhint %}

The Dropzone platform integrates with the [Datadog](https://www.datadoghq.com/) security SIEM. Many customers ingest other alert sources into DataDog (e.g. IDPs) and integrate Dropzone into DataDog rather than the source systems.

## Create an API Key and Application Key

Datadog requires both an API Key and an Application Key to enable.

To obtain an API Key, do the following:

* In the bottom left hand corner of your Datadog Dashboard, click on your organization icon
* Navigate to Organization Settings > API Keys
