Pub/Sub to Datadog template

The Pub/Sub to Datadog template is a streaming pipeline that reads messages from a Pub/Sub subscription and writes the message payload to Datadog by using a Datadog endpoint. The most common use case for this template is to export log files to Datadog.

Before writing to Datadog, you can apply a JavaScript user-defined function to the message payload. Any messages that experience processing failures are forwarded to a Pub/Sub unprocessed topic for further troubleshooting and reprocessing.

As an extra layer of protection for your API keys and secrets, you can also pass in a Cloud KMS key along with the base64-encoded API key parameter encrypted with the Cloud KMS key. For additional details about encrypting your API key parameter, see the Cloud KMS API encryption endpoint.

Pipeline requirements

• The source Pub/Sub subscription must exist prior to running the pipeline.
• The Pub/Sub unprocessed topic must exist prior to running the pipeline.
• The Datadog URL must be accessible from the network of the Dataflow workers.
• The Datadog API key must be generated and available.

Template parameters

Required parameters

• inputSubscription : The Pub/Sub subscription to read the input from. (Example: projects/your-project-id/subscriptions/your-subscription-name).
• url : The Datadog Logs API URL. This URL must be routable from the VPC that the pipeline runs in. See Send logs (https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/logs/#send-logs) in the Datadog documentation for more information. (Example: https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com).
• outputDeadletterTopic : The Pub/Sub topic to forward undeliverable messages to. For example, projects/<PROJECT_ID>/topics/<TOPIC_NAME>.

Optional parameters

• apiKey : The Datadog API key. You must provide this value if the apiKeySource is set to PLAINTEXT or KMS. For more information, see API and Application Keys (https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/api-app-keys/) in the Datadog documentation.
• batchCount : The batch size for sending multiple events to Datadog. The default is 1 (no batching).
• parallelism : The maximum number of parallel requests. The default is 1 (no parallelism).
• includePubsubMessage : Whether to include the full Pub/Sub message in the payload. The default is true (all elements, including the data element, are included in the payload).
• apiKeyKMSEncryptionKey : The Cloud KMS key to use to decrypt the API Key. You must provide this parameter if the apiKeySource is set to KMS. If the Cloud KMS key is provided, you must pass in an encrypted API Key. (Example: projects/your-project-id/locations/global/keyRings/your-keyring/cryptoKeys/your-key-name).
• apiKeySecretId : The Secret Manager secret ID for the API Key. You must provide this parameter if the apiKeySource is set to SECRET_MANAGER. (Example: projects/your-project-id/secrets/your-secret/versions/your-secret-version).
• apiKeySource : The source of the API key. The following values are supported: PLAINTEXT, KMS, and SECRET_MANAGER. You must provide this parameter if you're using Secret Manager. If apiKeySource is set to KMS, you must also provide apiKeyKMSEncryptionKey and encrypted API Key. If apiKeySource is set to SECRET_MANAGER, you must also provide apiKeySecretId. If apiKeySource is set to PLAINTEXT, you must also provide apiKey.
• javascriptTextTransformGcsPath : The Cloud Storage URI of the .js file that defines the JavaScript user-defined function (UDF) to use. For example, gs://my-bucket/my-udfs/my_file.js.
• javascriptTextTransformFunctionName : The name of the JavaScript user-defined function (UDF) to use. For example, if your JavaScript function code is myTransform(inJson) { /*...do stuff...*/ }, then the function name is myTransform. For sample JavaScript UDFs, see UDF Examples (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/DataflowTemplates#udf-examples).
• javascriptTextTransformReloadIntervalMinutes : Define the interval that workers may check for JavaScript UDF changes to reload the files. Defaults to: 0.

User-defined function

Optionally, you can extend this template by writing a user-defined function (UDF). The template calls the UDF for each input element. Element payloads are serialized as JSON strings. For more information, see Create user-defined functions for Dataflow templates.

Function specification

The UDF has the following specification:

• Input: the Pub/Sub message data field, serialized as a JSON string.
• Output: the event data to be sent to the Datadog Log endpoint. The output must be a string or a stringified JSON object.

Run the template

Console

1. Go to the Dataflow Create job from template page.
Go to Create job from template
2. In the Job name field, enter a unique job name.
3. Optional: For Regional endpoint, select a value from the drop-down menu. The default region is us-central1.

   For a list of regions where you can run a Dataflow job, see Dataflow locations.

4. From the Dataflow template drop-down menu, select the Pub/Sub to Datadog template.
5. In the provided parameter fields, enter your parameter values.
6. Click Run job.

gcloud

Note: To use the Google Cloud CLI to run classic templates, you must have Google Cloud CLI version 138.0.0 or later.

In your shell or terminal, run the template:

gcloud dataflow jobs run JOB_NAME \
    --gcs-location gs://dataflow-templates-REGION_NAME/VERSION/Cloud_PubSub_to_Datadog \
    --region REGION_NAME \
    --staging-location STAGING_LOCATION \
    --parameters \
inputSubscription=projects/PROJECT_ID/subscriptions/INPUT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME,\
apiKey=API_KEY,\
url=URL,\
outputDeadletterTopic=projects/PROJECT_ID/topics/DEADLETTER_TOPIC_NAME,\
javascriptTextTransformGcsPath=PATH_TO_JAVASCRIPT_UDF_FILE,\
javascriptTextTransformFunctionName=JAVASCRIPT_FUNCTION,\
batchCount=BATCH_COUNT,\
parallelism=PARALLELISM

Replace the following:

• JOB_NAME: a unique job name of your choice
• REGION_NAME: the region where you want to deploy your Dataflow job—for example, us-central1
• VERSION: the version of the template that you want to use

  You can use the following values:

  • latest to use the latest version of the template, which is available in the non-dated parent folder in the bucket— gs://dataflow-templates-REGION_NAME/latest/
  • the version name, like 2023-09-12-00_RC00, to use a specific version of the template, which can be found nested in the respective dated parent folder in the bucket— gs://dataflow-templates-REGION_NAME/
  Caution: The latest version of templates might update with breaking changes. Your production environments should use templates kept in the most recent dated parent folder to prevent these breaking changes from affecting your production workflows.
• STAGING_LOCATION: the location for staging local files (for example, gs://your-bucket/staging)
• INPUT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME: the Pub/Sub subscription name
• API_KEY: Datadog's API Key
• URL: the URL for Datadog's endpoint (for example, https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com)
• DEADLETTER_TOPIC_NAME: the Pub/Sub topic name
• JAVASCRIPT_FUNCTION: the name of the JavaScript user-defined function (UDF) that you want to use

  For example, if your JavaScript function code is myTransform(inJson) { /*...do stuff...*/ }, then the function name is myTransform. For sample JavaScript UDFs, see UDF Examples.

• PATH_TO_JAVASCRIPT_UDF_FILE: the Cloud Storage URI of the .js file that defines the JavaScript user-defined function (UDF) you want to use—for example, gs://my-bucket/my-udfs/my_file.js
• BATCH_COUNT: the batch size to use for sending multiple events to Datadog
• PARALLELISM: the number of parallel requests to use for sending events to Datadog
