Which status code corresponds to a WARNING state in service checks?

In Datadog, service checks are used to assess the health of a service, and the status codes represent different states of that service. A WARNING state indicates that the service is experiencing an issue that might not be critical but still requires attention.

The status code corresponding to a WARNING state is 1. This means that the check is reporting a condition that should be monitored closely, as it may lead to further issues if not addressed.

Understanding the importance of the WARNING state is crucial for effective monitoring and alerting. It allows teams to differentiate between service checks that are functioning normally (represented by a status code of 0), those that require attention (1), those that indicate a critical failure (2), and those that are in an unknown state (3). Hence, using the correct status codes helps in prioritizing responses based on the severity of the issue reported.
