Forward audit events
Forward this organization’s MCP tool calls, authentication changes, and administration events to your own observability stack. Sign-in events that happen outside an organization context are not forwarded.
Where to find it: Settings → Logging
You need Manage logging (logging:manage). The Logging tab is hidden without it. Logging destinations are a Black plan feature — otherwise the tab explains they are not in your plan.
Supported destinations
In the UI you can select:
| Type | Status in the product |
|---|---|
| Datadog | Fully supported — events are delivered |
| Splunk HEC | Listed as coming soon — config can be saved, but forwarding is not available yet |
| Microsoft Sentinel | Listed as coming soon — same limitation |
Use Datadog for production forwarding today.
Add a Datadog destination
- Open Settings → Logging.
- Choose Add destination.
- Set Type to Datadog.
- Enter a Name (for example
Acme Datadog). - Choose the Datadog site:
- US1 (
datadoghq.com) - US3 (
us3.datadoghq.com) - US5 (
us5.datadoghq.com) - EU (
datadoghq.eu) - AP1 (
ap1.datadoghq.com)
- US1 (
- Paste the Datadog API key. It is encrypted at rest and cannot be viewed after save (on edit, leave blank to keep the current key).
- Optionally add Tags as a comma-separated list (for example
team:platform, env:prod). Elaichi sends them via Datadog’sddtagsfield. - Under Forwarded events, tick what to send:
- Tool calls — MCP tool executions, including duration and status
- Authentication — changes to members, roles, invites, domains, and API tokens
- Administration — other organization settings changes
Leaving all three checked forwards everything (including future event types).
- Choose Create.
Type cannot be changed after create. Edit name, site, tags, event filters, or rotate the API key later.
Activate, test, and delete
| Control | Effect |
|---|---|
| Active switch | Pause or resume forwarding without deleting the destination |
| Test | Sends a test event; success/failure and HTTP status are recorded as last test |
| Edit | Update configuration |
| Delete | Stops forwarding immediately and permanently deletes the stored secret |
You'll know it worked when: Test reports delivered, and real events appear in Datadog shortly after activity in Elaichi.
Good to know
- Delivery is asynchronous; a short delay after an action is normal.
- Empty event selection means nothing is forwarded for that destination.
- Splunk HEC and Sentinel show a warning that forwarding is not available yet — prefer Datadog until those ship.
