Overview

Datadog is a network monitoring solution that provides visibility on application performance for enterprises. The platform offers an overview of a product to one SQL query and correlates application errors or performance with events and infrastructure metrics. Datadog can assist to spot performance bottlenecks in infrastructure or code, and monitors containers or hosts. The software can trace requests automatically across several frameworks and libraries, and facilitates auto-instrumentation to gather spans from frontend to backend.

Datadog captures performance info from infrastructure elements like Elasticsearch and Redis, and integrates with web frameworks such as Gin, Ruby on Rails, and Django. This program presents real-time dashboards with mix-and-match events and metrics from linked services, containers, hosts, and apps. The vendor delivers support over phone and email.
