Overview
The Sandbox account provides a secure and isolated environment where you can build, test, and validate integrations with Druva services before deploying them to production environments or listing them on the Druva Marketplace.
Druva exposes APIs and integration capabilities that allow external applications to interact with Druva services to fetch information such as backup status, alerts, workflows, or perform administrative actions. To securely access these capabilities, you must create an application that authenticates with Druva using API credentials. The Sandbox environment enables developers to safely develop and test these applications without impacting live customer environments.
By using a Sandbox account, developers can:
Explore the Druva environment and configure workloads and backups for testing purposes.
Generate and manage API credentials
Build integrations with Druva APIs
Integrate Apps using Webhooks
Test workflows such as Webhooks, event notifications, and automation
Validate application security and functionality before submission to the marketplace
The Sandbox acts as a controlled testing environment, ensuring integrations are reliable, secure, and compliant with Druva security standards before they interact with production environments.
Common Integration Use Cases
Developers typically create applications in the sandbox environment to extend Druva functionality or integrate Druva with other enterprise systems. Some common use cases include:
1. Security and Incident Response Integrations
Organizations may integrate Druva with security platforms or SIEM tools to automatically detect suspicious backup activity, generate alerts, or trigger incident response workflows.
2. IT Operations and Monitoring Automation
Applications can monitor backup health, job status, or system alerts and automatically create incidents or notifications in IT operations platforms.
3. Workflow Automation and Orchestration
Developers can create automation workflows that trigger actions based on backup events—for example, initiating compliance checks, reporting workflows, or orchestration pipelines.
4. Custom Dashboards and Reporting Tools
Organizations may build custom analytics dashboards that combine Druva data with data from other platforms to provide centralized visibility for IT and security teams.
These integrations help organizations extend the value of Druva by embedding backup intelligence into broader operational, security, and compliance workflows.
