What type of data does Datadog's log management service analyze?

The log management service from Datadog is specifically designed to handle log data generated by applications, services, and infrastructure components. This type of data includes detailed records of events, transactions, and activities that occur within the systems being monitored, which can be crucial for troubleshooting, monitoring performance, and ensuring the security of the environment.

By analyzing this log data, users can gain insights into system behavior, identify issues proactively, and correlate events across different services and infrastructure, enhancing overall observability and operational awareness. This capability to manage and analyze log data is a fundamental aspect of effective monitoring and observability in modern cloud-native environments.

Other types of data, such as user activity data, financial transaction data, or network traffic data, while potentially relevant to an organization's overall monitoring strategy, are not the primary focus of Datadog's log management services. Instead, the emphasis lies on processing and analyzing the extensive log data that provides critical insights into the functioning and health of applications and infrastructure.
