Connect Datadog to ECA
Give ECA governed access to Datadog’s 414 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Datadog to ECA in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Datadog in Runlayer
Add Datadog from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect ECA to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to ECA by following Runlayer’s setup guide. ECA reaches Datadog’s 414 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Each user signs in to Datadog with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Datadog call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
