Alert on metrics, events + more

If you send it, Datadog can alert on it:

• Application and system metrics
• Up/down status checks
• Custom metrics via StatsD
• Discrete events
• Network checks
• Metrics from running processes
• Evaluations of multiple alert triggers

---

Alert on services or individual hosts

VMs and containers come and go. Monitor them at a higher level:

• Alert on the health of an entire service
• Aggregate metrics by any combination of tags: region, role, environment, etc.
• Dynamic groups include new hosts and containers automatically
• Exclude any segment of your infrastructure from an alert

---

Thresholds, changes, outliers

Datadog can recognize any kind of trouble in your systems:

• Metrics crossing into unacceptable ranges
• Unexpected changes or trends
• Automated outlier detection
• Configurable “no data” alerts for missing data

---

Only get alerts that matter

Not every alert should wake you up at 3:00 A.M.:

• Tune alerts to recognize acceptable failure levels
• Exclude alerts from testing environments or subcritical components
• Fine-tune your alerts with flexible alerting logic
• Automatically mute alerts during planned downtime

Use your existing workflow

Datadog works with all the communication and collaboration tools you love:

• Route notifications directly to Slack, HipChat, or Campfire
• Automatically trigger and resolve issues in PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and more
• Ensure issue resolution
• Use webhooks to take automated action in response to an alert

Immediate context
