Summary

Datadog has introduced an integration that enhances visibility into Salesforce environments by collecting event logs through the Event Log File (ELF) API and real-time event monitoring, supporting over 50 event types via ELF and 14 via real-time streaming. This integration allows users to analyze logs for insights into security and operational performance, with Datadog automatically parsing key information for search, filter, and analysis. Users can specify relevant events to avoid extraneous data and use an out-of-the-box dashboard for visualization, which can be customized. The system enables monitoring of user activities, platform access, and security threats, providing alerts for suspicious behaviors such as anomalous user activity, API usage, and potential security threats like session hijacking. By aggregating logs and correlating them with data from over 850 other technologies, users can gain comprehensive insights into their Salesforce environment to ensure seamless operations and data security.
