Email Event Logging and Monitoring

1 post · Oct 2018

What this trail covers

Datadog has implemented a system to ingest and monitor email events from Amazon SES, enabling enhanced observability for critical communications like password resets. This system leverages AWS SNS and Lambda to forward SES events to Datadog Log Management, allowing for easy searching, faceting, and alerting on email delivery status. This provides the support and security teams with direct access to email-related metrics, improving troubleshooting and trust in the email sending infrastructure.

  1. Improving trust with Datadog Log Management | DatadogThis post details the architecture and implementation of a serverless pipeline for ingesting Amazon SES events into Datadog Log Management. It describes the use of SES configuration sets to publish events to an SNS topic, which then triggers a Lambda function to forward these events to Datadog. The post includes Terraform snippets for setting up the SNS topic, SES configuration set, and Lambda function, as well as guidance on configuring Datadog Log Management to create facets for email event types and subjects.
