Datadog’s GitHub integration allows you to connect your GitHub organization or personal account to access source code-related functionality and collect valuable data to help you monitor and secure your GitHub environment.

Source Code Functionality: The GitHub integration powers several different source code features across Datadog products to help you with troubleshooting and taking action on your code. Some examples include:

• Speed up investigations in Error Tracking, Continuous Profiler, and Code Security using in-line code snippets to contextualize where a problem is coming from in your code.
• Power up your code reviews with automated feedback and suggested changes directly on your pull requests from Code Security and Test Optimization.
• Take action on your codebase with custom automations built with Datadog Actions and Remediations.

Data Collected: Collect actionable data derived from Code Scans, Secret Scans, and Repository Metrics. This telemetry data will enable your engineering teams to understand trends for security workflows and events.

• Visualize and track repository activity and your overall Alert state.
• Set monitors on specific repositories to ensure all new code scan alerts are tracked by your team, and route these straight to Slack or Jira to take immediate action.
