Description

Datadog is a monitoring service for cloud-scale applications, providing monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform.

Always have a hard time to find errors in the host of different servers? Having a hard time configuring alerts for when things go wrong?


Need to manually investigate issues when a server/database runs out of space? DataDog will actually forecast these issues and tell you in advance. It is no wonder that DataDog's usage and acceptance grows day by day.

You will get a quick grasp on DataDog. It is one of the best data monitoring tools out there, with the ability to design and develop dashboards and it will let you add widgets to provide great visual representation into your entire ecosystem.

834 companies reportedly use Datadog in their tech stacks, including Airbnb, Facebook, and Spotify.

Setup Datadog Agents on the Mac as well as Windows. Learn how to start and stop the agents as well. Then move on to integrating DataDog with another tool like Prometheus. Learn efficient ways to edit your DataDog config files.

One point here. You must integrate with other systems like Slack. Slack is a messaging platform. When things go wrong we can send alerts here. Configure alerts so they can be used later on in Monitors as well.

Who this course is for:

  • Students trying to get a basic understanding of DataDog
  • Developers or Administrators looking to monitor and Visualize their apps/machines/servers with DataDog
  • Developers and Software Architects who have used another tool to monitor their apps and are now looking to move over to DataDog
