How does Datadog facilitate infrastructure monitoring?

Datadog facilitates infrastructure monitoring primarily by collecting metrics, logs, and events from various sources. This capability is fundamental to understanding the performance and health of your infrastructure in real-time. By aggregating data from different components—such as servers, applications, and cloud services—Datadog provides a comprehensive view of system performance. This data collection helps identify performance bottlenecks, track resource utilization, and facilitate troubleshooting by correlating logs with metrics.

The ability to monitor a wide range of sources ensures that teams can observe and respond to issues as they arise, enabling proactive management of infrastructure and enhancing overall operational efficiency. This approach leads to better insights and informed decision-making regarding the infrastructure, allowing businesses to maintain reliability and improve their service delivery.
