Eliminate leaked 32-hex api_key, 40-hex app_key, HTTP proxy URLs, and integration passwords in datadog.yaml and conf.d/*.yaml 100% in local browser RAM — bypassing sed/yq indentation corruption and GH013 secret blocks.

Core capabilities built into DatadogYamlShield
Unlike regex replacements that shatter YAML block scalars and anchors (& / *), our parser isolates secret scalar values while keeping init_config, instances, and logs blocks 100% syntactically valid.
Automatically strips embedded basic-auth credentials inside proxy.https, no_proxy internal CIDRs, and additional_endpoints map values.
Replaces Datadog API keys, Application keys, and Cluster Agent auth_token values with deterministic format-preserving placeholders that pass pre-commit hooks.
Every byte of your host topology, internal tags, and collector credentials stays inside local browser memory—never touching external SaaS servers.
Zero configuration, zero cloud server dependencies, instant execution.

| Feature / Metric | 🛡️ DatadogYamlShield | ☁️ Cloud SaaS (Datadog) |
|---|---|---|
| Data Egress & Execution Architecture | 🛡️ 100% Client-Side Browser RAM (Zero Server Upload) | ☁️ Cloud SaaS Ingestion ($49/mo per host + log indexing) |
| 32-Hex API Key & additional_endpoints Array Masking | 🛡️ Deterministic YAML AST Scalar & Sequence Redaction | ☁️ Manual flare scrubbing (often misses custom integration keys) |
| HTTP/HTTPS Proxy URI Credential Stripping | 🛡️ Automatic user:pass@host URI De-Authentication | ☁️ Plaintext proxy URLs retained in custom check definitions |
| conf.d/ Database & Integration Password Scrubbing | 🛡️ Preserves YAML Anchors (&/*) & log_processing_rules Regex | ☁️ Naive regex breaks YAML indentation or multiline scalars |
Eliminate vendor lock-in and cloud upload security risks.

Everything you need to know about privacy, local memory execution, and buyouts.
Drop your datadog.yaml or conf.d/*.yaml into DatadogYamlShield. It parses YAML key paths and URI patterns in local browser RAM, replacing 32-hex api_key, 40-hex app_key, and http://user:pass@proxy strings while preserving exact 2-space YAML indentation and anchors.
Datadog log_processing_rules contain complex escaped regular expressions and double-quoted YAML strings. Naive sed one-liners strip quotes or alter backslash escaping, causing datadog-agent configcheck to fail with YAML syntax errors.
Yes. Both primary api_key fields and secondary keys nested inside additional_endpoints arrays or cluster_agent.auth_token are replaced with deterministic non-triggering tokens that pass GitHub Secret Scanning and Gitleaks.
Yes. Execution happens 100% locally inside your browser's memory with zero network upload. Database passwords, internal hostnames, and RFC1918 CIDRs are scrubbed before you copy the YAML into any LLM.
While datadog-agent flare scrubs standard api_key fields, engineers frequently paste raw datadog.yaml or conf.d/*.yaml snippets directly into Jira, Slack, Git PRs, or ChatGPT where flare's post-packaging scrubber never runs.
