What agents can do

Set what each agent can do across your monitoring.

Each area of Datadog, like dashboards, monitors, or incidents, gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied.

Off
No access
The agent can't see that part of your monitoring.
Read
Read-only
The agent can read metrics, dashboards, and logs in that area. It can't change anything.
Full use
Create and update
The agent can create and update monitors and dashboards in that area.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one can silence alerting or remove your monitoring for good, so it could override the limits set elsewhere.

Set up & manage

Connect once. Manage everyone from there.

Connect once, then control access person by person. No new keys to hand out.

Step 1 · Set up

Connect once, company-wide

An admin connects your company's Datadog a single time. Bollard AI lays out the areas of your monitoring, and anything you don't allow stays out of reach for every agent.

Step 2 · Manage

Control access per person and agent

From one dashboard, set what every person and their agents can reach. Change it any time, with no new keys for anyone.

Example

A monitoring agent.

An ops agent builds dashboards and can read your metrics, but it can't delete monitoring or change incidents.

Monitor activity

The security model

Top-tier security.

Bollard AI is access control for AI agents. It sits between your agents and Datadog, so they never hold your Datadog keys and never reach Datadog directly.

Everything runs through Bollard AI

Agents send their requests to Bollard AI, not to Datadog. Bollard AI checks each one against your rules and passes only the allowed requests through.

Denied by default

Every area starts off-limits, and muting alerts or deleting monitoring is held back on top of that. An agent gets in only where you've allowed it, and anything Bollard AI doesn't recognise is refused and held for review, never waved through on a guess.

Your keys stay sealed

Your Datadog keys are sealed in a vault unique to your company and never shown again. Bollard AI unlocks them only for the instant an allowed request needs it.

Activity you can read

Every attempt is recorded in plain English: who or which agent, what they tried, which monitor or dashboard, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

Datadog, answered.

Does connecting Datadog hand Bollard AI your whole account?+
Only the areas you allow. An admin connects your Datadog, and you decide which areas, like dashboards or monitors, each agent can reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your monitoring. It sits in front of it and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent mute our alerts or delete monitoring?+
Not unless you turn it on. Deleting monitors and dashboards, and scheduling downtimes that mute alerts, are held off by default, so an agent can build and read monitoring without ever silencing or removing it, until you explicitly allow it.
Can an agent see more than the person who owns it?+
No. An agent reaches only what its owner reaches. An explicit Off always overrides an inherited permission.
Where do our Datadog keys live?+
Sealed in an encrypted vault, behind a key unique to your company. It's never shown again once connected, and Bollard AI unseals it only for the instant an allowed request needs it.
What happens when an agent tries something it's not allowed to do?+
Bollard AI blocks the request before it reaches Datadog, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect Datadog?+
An admin connects the company's Datadog once. Bollard AI seals the connection and lays out the areas of your monitoring to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
