Datadog to Telegram webhook

Provides a basic authenticated webhook to forward alerts from Datadog to Telegram

Requirements

• A Datadog account
• A Telegram account

Quickstart

Datadog

1. Set up a Datadog Webhook integration
2. Create a new webhook with the following URL:

   https://<your-server-host>:8080/telegram/<telegram_chat_id>
   

3. Use basic authentication credentials matching the ones configured on the server (see below)
4. Use the webhook in your Datadog monitors by adding @webhook-<webhook_name> in the notification body

Telegram

1. Create a Telegram bot via BotFather and note the API token
2. Get your chat ID by messaging your bot and visiting:

   https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates
   

   The chat.id field in the response is your chat ID

Webhook server

1. Install dependencies:

   uv sync 
   

2. Configure the following secrets either as environment variables or as Docker secrets in /var/run/secrets/:

   Environment Variable	Docker Secret	Description
   WEBHOOK_FLASK_SECRET_KEY	webhook_flask_secret_key	Flask secret key for sessions
   WEBHOOK_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME	webhook_basic_auth_username	Basic auth username
   WEBHOOK_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD	webhook_basic_auth_password	Basic auth password
   WEBHOOK_TELEGRAM_BOT_API_TOKEN	webhook_telegram_bot_api_token	Telegram bot API token

3. Run the server:

   python app.py
   

   The server starts on 127.0.0.1:8080 by default

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"\
 -d '{
