Summary

Google Workspace is a collection of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools developed by Google. Millions of teams use these tools to streamline their workflows, making it essential for security monitoring and audits. Datadog provides integration with Google Workspace audit logs, allowing administrators to monitor key events such as administrative access, activity in Google Drive, user login activity, changes to a user's account, and more. With this integration, users can search, analyze, and alert on their Google Workspace activity just like other system and application logs. The integration also enables the detection of suspicious trends in login attempts, tracking of changes to files in Google Drive, monitoring of access to the Admin console, and capturing real-time security events from Google's Alert Center. Additionally, Datadog provides tools for auditing, archiving, and analyzing these logs, enabling administrators to gather context for troubleshooting issues, conducting audits, and detecting suspicious activity.
