How to Monitor FusionAuth Cloud with Datadog (via Prometheus) and Track 2FA Drop-Off
-
We are investigating what additional telemetry and data we can monitor and log to our monitoring systems. I found the self-hosted version supports integration with Datadog here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/operate/monitor/datadog
However, I am unclear what we can monitor on the cloud version since we are not managing the container or deployment side.
-
Can we integrate the cloud-hosted version into Datadog to monitor for performance issues or other issues that might impact end users? If so, are there any guides?
-
Can we monitor failed 2FA rates using a tool like this? Or are there recommended approaches for monitoring drop-off during 2FA enrollment and other login issues?

You cannot integrate Datadog directly into the cloud-hosted version of FusionAuth. The only relevant section in the documentation is "Use Datadog Agent on a Remote Host." This requires setting up Datadog to monitor FusionAuth using the Prometheus Metrics API endpoint. For monitoring failed 2FA rates, FusionAuth does not currently have built-in support. There is no webhook for failed MFA, but you can use the failed login webhook to monitor incorrect password attempts.
