Datadog AKS Monitoring

Visualize Kubernetes Cluster Health and Performance Out-of-the-Box

Within minutes of installing Datadog’s Azure integration, get full visibility into your clusters’ health and performance at cluster, node, and pod levels
Keep tabs on your containerized workloads and visualize trends anywhere in your AKS clusters
Monitor and alert on important AKS resource utilization metrics like CPU, memory, and storage usage, as well as cluster health information like pod phase and state

Enable low impact monitoring of 10,000+ nodes with the cluster agent
Optimize horizontal auto-scaling by connecting Datadog to your HPA and collecting request rate, latency, and available network bandwidth
Gain visibility into container orchestration and easily manage Kubernetes pods over or under-allocating available resources via the real-time live container view and auto-generated container map
Improve operational costs and reduce excess capacity based on high-granularity historical data

Visualize control plane data from your API server to get valuable insights into your AKS cluster’s orchestration layer
Get alerted on elevated error rates in API server logs and seamlessly correlate with rising inflight request counts to measure latency
Diagnose potential AKS workload issues such as spikes in the number of failed schedule attempts

Set up threshold and rate of change alerts for service-level metrics that won’t panic as containers scale down
Create smarter alerts that account for daily, weekly, and seasonal fluctuations
Proactively prevent outages and errors by forecasting system-level metrics
Automatically detect unanticipated outliers, anomalies, and errors with Watchdog

Monitor your full stack in one place and create custom, drag-and-drop, real-time dashboards within seconds
Seamlessly navigate between your logs, infrastructure metrics, and application traces
Quickly deploy the agent across your entire cluster through our helm chart or daemonset
Automatically detect services running in Kubernetes clusters and monitor them no matter where they spin up
