# Ledger records in Datadog

> Every ledger record as an OCSF log at your Datadog site, with one API key checked live.

Datadog's OAuth is open only to approved Datadog Technology Partners ([Datadog](https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/authorization/oauth2_in_datadog/)), so this is one API key.

1. In Datadog, **Organization settings**, **API keys**, make a key (an API key, not an application key).
2. On the Datadog card, pick your site (US1, US3, US5, EU1, AP1, AP2, UK1, US1-FED, US2-FED) and paste the key. It is checked with `GET https://api.<site>/api/v1/validate` before it is kept.

Records go to `https://http-intake.logs.<site>/api/v2/logs` in batches of up to 100, as the same OCSF 1.3 events [the SIEM export](https://immiscible.fly.dev/docs/guides/siem-export.md) carries, with `ddsource:immiscible` and tags `workspace:<id>` and `kind:<ledger kind>`. You can limit the kinds sent with `events` (`PATCH /api/w/:wid/alerting/datadog`). Retries and the delivery log are as for PagerDuty.
