README

This bundle allows you to automatically track user information in DataDog's APM and ASM modules.

DataDog APM

For DataDog APM, it will automatically pass in the session ID, and -- if logged in -- the currently logged in username. You can additionally specify additional properties to pass to APM.

DataDog ASM

If enabled, for DataDog Application Security Monitoring, all success and failure login attempts will be passed to the datadog agent. You can additionally specify additional properties to pass to APM.

Installation

Prerequisites

The DataDog Agent needs to be configured in your application with tracing enabled.

If you are using Application Security Monitoring, the agent should be configured with the --enable-appsec argument.

Get the bundle

Let Composer download and install the bundle by running

composer require compasshp/datadog-bundle

in a shell.

Enable the bundle

Register the bundle (you most likely don't want this bundle enable)

// in config/bundles.php
return [
	// ...
	Compass\DatadogBundle\CompassDatadogBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configure

Create the configuration file:

# config/packages/compass_datadog.yaml

# The DataDog agent is typically not available in your test environment.
when@test:
  compass_datadog:
    tracing:
      enabled: false
    appsec:
      enabled: false

compass_datadog:
  tracing:
    enabled: true
    user_entity: App\Entity\User
    user_properties: [ firstName, lastName, email ] # specify any additional properties you want traced.  Username is always traced when someone is logged in.
  appsec:
    enabled: true # default is false

And that's it! Once configured, your application will automatically begin sending additional metadata to DataDog.
