Common Questions

How do you define a host?

How do I monitor containers?

The Datadog Agent runs in a container alongside any number of other containers on a host. From there it can collect metrics from its neighboring containers and from the host itself. Depending on your plan, you can monitor 10 or 20 containers free for each host license.Additional containers will be billed at $0.002 per container per hour. In addition, you can purchase prepaid containers at $1 per container per month.

What is a custom metric?

Datadog was designed to allow you to monitor your own custom applications and business metrics—not just your infrastructure. You can send any and all of your organization’s important metrics to Datadog for graphing, alerting, correlation, anomaly detection and more. Example uses: monitoring ad revenue, the rate at which shopping carts are abandoned, or the health of an in-game economy. Many customers find these metrics invaluable, especially when combined with infrastructure metrics.

How can I send custom metrics and events?

You can send Datadog custom metrics in three ways - The Datadog Agent ships with DogStatsD so you can submit custom metrics via the Agent’s non-blocking API functions for many programming languages. - The Datadog Agent allows for the creation of custom integrations via plugins to the Agent. This plugin system allows the Agent to collect custom metrics on your behalf. Integrations which are contributed back to the Datadog Agent convert to standard metrics. - Datadog also has a full-featured API that you can send your metrics to—either directly over HTTP or with a language-specific library.

How can I be sure my data is secure?

Security is our top priority. This includes, universal HTTPS, strong TLS configuration, and HTTP Strict Transport Security. Our Agent is open-source, which means it can be reviewed to ensure it meets your security requirements.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ

Do you have special offerings for partners?

We’re always looking to partner with technology and service providers and resellers. See our Partners page for more.

How do you define an IoT device?

An IoT device is a nonstandard compute device deployed outside of an on-premise or cloud data center which transmits data over a network. Examples of IoT devices include the Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson. You can monitor IoT devices in Datadog with the Datadog IoT Agent.

Common Questions

How do you define retention?

The retention period is the number of days your logs are searchable and analyzable. After this period, logs disappear from your index(es).

Logs removed from your index(es) do not have to be gone forever! Check out our Log Archives for long-term storage options.

What happens if I send an unexpectedly high volume of logs?

By committing to a monthly volume of logs, you aren’t rate-limited based on a single day's volume. Send as much as you need on any given day without losing visibility. Assuming your average is lower on other days, your bill is unaffected.

In those cases where you have a big month, not to worry! You maintain complete visibility and pay for additional services (+50% of the annual price) only on the volume that exceeds your commitment.

How is Rehydration billed?

When you rehydrate logs, Datadog scans the compressed logs in your archive for the time period you requested, and then indexes only log events that match your rehydration query. Datadog charges $0.10 per compressed GB of log data that is scanned. For any log events indexed from a rehydration, the cost is equal to your contracted indexing rates for the retention period selected for the rehydration.

I know my consumption in GB/day: how do I convert it into millions of log events?

Log events come in all shapes and sizes, which is precisely why we offer event-based pricing! We want to encourage rich logs to provide the most value.

The best way to get the number of log events during your Datadog trial is to run a count query over the last 24 hours and multiply by 30 days to estimate for the month. This can, of course, also be done in your current log management solution, if you have one.

How do I monitor containers?

The Datadog Agent runs in a container alongside any number of other containers on a host. From there it can collect metrics and logs from its neighboring containers and from the host itself.

How are log-based metrics billed?

Log-based metrics can either be counted towards your Custom Metrics allocation as outlined in your infrastructure plan or charged on-demand starting at $5/100 metrics.

How can I be sure my data is secure?

Security is our top priority. This includes, TCP/SSL Strict Transport Security, agent-level scrubbing and SOC 2 compliance. Our Agent is open-source, which means it can be reviewed to ensure it meets your security requirements.

Are there other billing options?

Annual and monthly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

How can I manage my highly dynamic log volume in a cost-effective way without losing visibility?

We’ve designed our Log Management offer knowing from day 1 that managing large and fluctuating log volumes is a common problem. We have various innovative solutions for this, which you can learn more about from our dedicated article here.

Having all your infrastructure, APM, and log data under one roof is something we definitely encourage, but you can also subscribe only to Datadog’s Log Management. Learn how to configure only log collection here.

What retentions are available for on-demand customers?

For on-demand customers, the default retention is 15 days. If you have already created a Datadog account and would like to use a different retention, you can request a different retention at support@datadoghq.com

Am I billed for ingestion even if I index all of my logs?

The $0.10 per GB for ingesting and processing logs is waived if you index 100% of the logs you send to Datadog. The $0.10 per GB rate always applies to any compressed log data scanned during rehydration.

For more details, or reach out to your Sales or Customer Success rep.

What kind of billing plan do I need to run APM?

APM standalone or APM & Continuous Profiler can be purchased in addition to either Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring plans.

I am an existing APM customer. Can I switch to the APM & Continuous Profiler plan?

Yes. Existing APM customers have the option of changing their plan to APM & Continuous Profiler at $40 per host per month. Contact your Sales or Customer Success rep for help.

Can I purchase the APM & Continuous Profiler plan for a portion of my hosts and individual standalone products for the rest of my hosts?

No. Customers can commit to only one of the plans across all their APM hosts, not a combination thereof.

What languages does APM support?

Java, Python, Ruby, Go, Node, .NET and PHP.

Can I add custom instrumentation on top of Datadog’s out-of-the-box instrumentation?

Yes. We provide auto-instrumentation for popular libraries and frameworks, but you can easily add custom instrumentation if desired.

Can I run APM with containers?

Yes, you can run APM in a containerized environment. AWS Fargate is also supported.

Does APM support Serverless computing?

Yes, we support AWS Fargate tasks ($2 per task) and AWS Lambda (see pricing info here).

What is the difference between ingestion and retention?

Ingestion means sending your traces to Datadog. By default, you can now ingest 100% of your traces with no sampling upfront and have them available for Live Search and Analytics for 15 minutes. Retention means storing your most important traces (e.g. error or high latency ones) and making them available for search and analysis during a retention period of your choice (15 days by default).

Tracing without Limits™: Can I ingest additional spans?

Yes. While we include 150GB per APM host by default for Ingested Spans, you can always ingest additional traces and spans for 15-minute live search and analytics at $0.10/GB.

Note: The included 150GB per host is summed over all the APM hosts. For example, if in a given month you have 2 APM hosts and one ingests 250GBs and the other 50GBs (300GB in total), you will not be billed for ingestion that month.

Can I retain (index) additional spans and modify the retention period?

Yes. While we include 1 million Indexed Spans per APM host with 15-day retention by default, you can always retain additional spans.

For additional Indexed Spans, we offer the following retention periods:

7-day retention at $1.27 per million spans per month (billed annually or $1.91 on-demand)
15-day retention at $1.70 per million spans per month (billed annually or $2.55 on-demand)
30-day retention at $2.50 per million spans per month (billed annually or or $3.75 on-demand)

If you need longer retention, please reach out to your Customer Success or Sales rep to customize your plan.

Note 1: The included 1 million Indexed Spans per host is summed across all your APM hosts. For example, if in a given month you have 2 APM hosts and you index 1.5 million spans from one and 0.5 million from the other (2 million in total), you will not be billed for indexing that month.

Note 2: Indexed Spans that are auto-retained by Datadog do not count towards the 1 million Indexed Spans that are included per host.

Do I have to ingest and/or retain 100% of my traces?

With an intuitive user interface, you can decide what to send to Datadog as well as which traces to retain and for how long. This way, customers get full control over their tracing data and their network-bandwidth-related costs.

How are span-based metrics billed?

Span-based metrics are counted towards your Custom Metrics allocation as outlined in your infrastructure plan.

Can I run APM on web apps with Azure App Services (PaaS)?

Yes, the Datadog extension for Azure App Services provides additional monitoring capabilities for Azure Web Apps, including full support for distributed tracing using automatic instrumentation, manual APM instrumentation to customize spans, Trace_ID injection into application logs, and submitting custom metrics using DogStatsD. Learn more with our documentation.

What is considered as a host for Azure App Services?

All Azure App Service Plan instances will count as Infrastructure hosts. In addition, if they are running the Datadog extension and submitting APM traces from a Web App, all instances in the underlying ASP will be counted as APM hosts.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

What is Continuous Profiler?

Continuous Profiler is a tool to observe and analyze code-level performance in your production environment at all times with minimal overhead. It allows developers to identify and optimize the most resource-consuming methods in their code. We provide comprehensive documentation and encourage you to take a read.

How is Continuous Profiler billed?

Continuous Profiler is billed per host, per month, regardless of whether it is combined with APM. The price includes 4 containers running profiled applications per host. Additional containers will cost only $2 each. Annual, month-to-month, and on-demand billing plans are available. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Note: The included 4 containers per host is summed across all your profiled hosts. For example, if in a given month you have 2 profiled hosts, and one of them has 6 profiled containers and the other has 2 profiled containers (8 in total), then you will not be billed for profiled containers that month.

I am an existing Continuous Profiler customer. Can I switch to the APM & Continuous Profiler plan?

Yes. Existing Continuous Profiler customers have the option of changing their plan to APM & Continuous Profiler at $40 per host per month. Contact your Sales or Customer Success rep for help.

I am an existing Continuous Profiler customer and I am not interested in the APM & Continuous Profiler plan. Will my cost per profiled host change?'

Existing Continuous Profiler Customers will be honored as per their current contracted price until renewal.

Can I purchase Continuous Profiler standalone?

Yes, Continuous Profiler can be purchased standalone at $19 per profiled host per month with an annual commitment. Month-to-month and on-demand plans are also available at $23 per profiled host per month or $0.038 per hour. or reach out to your Sales or Customer Success rep for more details.

Can I purchase the APM & Continuous Profiler bundle for a portion of my hosts and individual standalone products for the rest of my hosts?

No. Customers can commit to only one of the plans across all their APM hosts, not a combination thereof.

How do you define a profiled host?

A profiled host is a physical or virtual operating system instance which is running a profiled application. To be profiled, the host would need to have the agent installed and profiling enabled. When combined with APM, every APM host is also a profiler host, and vice versa. The same logic applies to profiled containers. For more information visit our Billing FAQ.

Which languages does Continuous Profiler support?

Currently supported languages are Java, Go, and Python. Support for Ruby, PHP, .NET, and Node is coming soon.

How does Datadog Continuous Profiler work?

Our profilers constantly collect representative samples of all stack traces, aggregate them over a 60-second time period and forwards them through the Datadog agent. This is done continuously in one-minute intervals which means you will never lose code-level visibility in your services. To profile your services, simply import our profiling library or enable an environment variable flag when you run the APM tracer.

How do you ensure minimal performance impact in production?

We use the latest, most cutting-edge technologies, such as the JDK Flight Recorder, to ensure that performance impact is minimal even with full production workloads. Additionally, our profilers do not interrupt or interfere with any of your service requests hence we introduce no additional request latency.

How is profiling different from tracing?

Tracing measures latency of requests across services in distributed systems, whereas profiling provides deeper insights on all that happened on the code level of the services.

What are the benefits of Datadog Continuous Profiler?

Continuous Profiler is tightly integrated with the rest of the Datadog platform and it extends our seamless correlations between metrics, traces, and logs to the code level. This is extremely useful for code performance optimization, cost savings on cloud provider bills, and reducing request latency for improved user experience.

What types of profiles are available?

CPU, Memory Allocation, Lock, Wall Time, Disk IO, and Socket IO profiles. For more information visit our documentation page.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Common Questions

How do you define a database host?

A database host is any physical or virtual instance hosting your database on a server that you monitor with Datadog.

What databases are supported?

Database Monitoring (DBM) is vendor-agnostic. We support Postgres (9.6+) and MySQL (5.6+) databases at this time, whether they be on-premise, self-managed, or cloud-hosted. In the future, we plan to support additional databases.

Can I purchase Database Monitoring (DBM) standalone?

No, you need to be an existing Infrastructure Monitoring customer to purchase Database Monitoring.

I am an existing Infrastructure Monitoring customer. Can I purchase DBM for a portion of my database hosts?

Yes, you can purchase Database Monitoring (DBM) for one, some, or all of your database hosts!

What are (query) explain plans and how are they useful?

A query explain plan or query execution plan describes the steps used to access data and enables you to locate hotspots. We automatically capture explain plans for all queries to make sure that you have sample available during critical moments.

How long is DBM data retained?

– Query metrics are retained for 3 months
– Explain plans and query samples are retained for 15 days

How does DBM work?

DBM uses the Datadog Agent to capture data from your databases. Please see our documentation for more information.

Does DBM require the use of an additional agent?

No, as long as you are an Infrastructure Monitoring customer and already have the standard Datadog Agent set up, you are able to use Database Monitoring. Check out our docs page for details.

What are normalized queries?

Identical queries with different parameters are grouped together by obfuscating the parameters. These query groups are called normalized queries and are sometimes referred to as query digests. Datadog supports 200 normalized queries per database host. Obfuscating parameters at the agent level also ensures that no sensitive data is forwarded.

Can I still use DBM if I have additional normalized queries past the included amount?

200 normalized queries are included per host. This allotment is aggregated across all hosts, meaning that if you have 2 hosts, you have a total limit of 200 + 200 = 400 queries regardless of the exact breakdown by host, i.e. 200 normalized queries on average. At your request, we can accommodate additional normalized queries surpassing this limit for an extra charge.

Are there other billing options?

Annual and monthly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Common Questions

How is a session defined?

A session is a user journey on your web application. It expires after 15 minutes of inactivity. For a detailed explanation of user sessions, please see our docs.

Are mobile and browser sessions counted separately or treated the same?

The same. For example, if you purchase 100k RUM sessions you can use 80k on browser and 20k on mobile, or any proportion adding to 100k.

What data does Datadog’s RUM collect?

We collect all the pages and screens visited by end users along with telemetry that matters: Browser, Mobile.

What languages do you support instrumentation for?

We collect the same data for all web applications. For mobile apps we currently support Android (Java and Kotlin), iOS (Swift and Objective-C) and React Native.

Can I view logs from the browser or mobile app in RUM?

Yes, these logs are automatically tied to the corresponding RUM session, making it easy to monitor when they happen during the user journey.

How can I begin setup for RUM?

Setup steps can be found in our docs: Browser, Mobile.

Service and Support

Technical Support (Chat and Email)
Community Forum and Online Docs

Common Questions

How is a user defined?

Incident Management is billed by counting Monthly Active Users (MAUs). An “active user” is only counted if they contribute comments or signals (graphs, links, etc.) to an incident. Anyone who only opens/closes an incident or simply views the incident are not counted. Additionally, these are not named seats, so you do not need to determine which specific users have access.

What tools does Datadog’s Incident Management integrate with?

Datadog integrates with the Datadog Slack App for incident communication channels to facilitate collaboration and timeline activity. Other communication tools can be linked directly from an incident. Check out our Docs for more information.

How do I declare an incident? Can I include external details?

Incident Management is deeply integrated across the Datadog platform to ensure you can open incidents when you need to from wherever you are. Incidents can be opened from alerts, graphs, logs, APM, Security signals and more. External sources, like customer support tickets, can also be used as signals in an incident by adding them as links. Doing so adds them to the incident timeline and can be used to explain the scope of impact.

Does Datadog have an on-call scheduler?

Datadog integrates with partners like PagerDuty to ensure your on-call team members can be added to incidents and appropriately notified.

Can I use Datadog Incident Management without using other Datadog products?

Datadog Incident Management can be used as a standalone incident management solution for your team, or as a central hub in-app to consolidate the tools and processes you already use.

Common Questions

How do you define a host?

A host is any physical or virtual machine that has the Datadog agent installed with Network Performance Monitoring enabled.

How do you define a device?

A device is a physical or virtual appliance with a unique IP address that is polled using SNMP.

How do you define a flow?

A flow is a record of traffic sent and received between a source (IP:Port) and destination (IP:Port) over a five minute time period. In some cases, similar destinations are grouped into a single flow to reduce the total flow count.

How many flows are included per host?

Datadog offers 6 million flows for every host monitored with network monitoring. Flows are averaged across your entire account, not just on a per-host basis. Beyond this limit, Datadog charges $1.27 / million flows, although it is rare for our customers to exceed the included volume.

Does Network Performance Monitoring work with containers?

Yes, Datadog Network Performance Monitoring is designed to work in containerized and highly dynamic environments. User-defined tags allow you to slice and dice network flows by almost anything, including containers, clusters, pods, and deployments.

Do I need to purchase other Datadog products to use NPM or NDM?

Having all your infrastructure, traces, logs, and network information under one roof is something we encourage for comprehensive visibility, however, it is not required. Network Performance Monitoring requires the purchase of an Infrastructure Pro or Enterprise plan. Network Device Monitoring only requires the purchase of one or more infrastructure hosts which are used to poll devices.

Common Questions

What’s the difference between API Tests and Browser Tests?

API Tests monitor single endpoints or URLs, whereas Browser Tests monitor web business transactions or web user journeys that may involve several actions and pages. Multistep API tests are also available to chain several HTTP API tests together.

Are you able to alert on Synthetic monitors?

Yes, alerts are built in and triggered automatically when your tests fail. Datadog also integrates with your favorite collaboration/communication tools such as Slack, Pagerduty, ServiceNow, and more.

Can I view endpoint requests end-to-end?

Yes, with the out-of-the-box APM integration, you are able to tie back any synthetic tests to their corresponding back-end, code-level insights for minimal mean time to resolution.

Is there any extra charge for using private locations?

No. There are no additional costs to set up a private location. All test runs to a private location are billed just as they are to a managed location.

What counts as an API test run?

HTTP, SSL, DNS, TCP, and ICMP all fall under API test billing. Each hit being made on your endpoint counts as a single test run. If a test is set to run from 3 locations every minute, the test will count as 180 test runs in an hour.

For multistep API tests, each request counts as an individual API test.

What counts as a browser test run?

Each simulation of a full transaction (25 steps) counts as a single test run. A single test containing 50 steps counts as 2 test runs on each execution. So, running a 51 step test (counting as 3 test runs) every 15 minutes from 5 different locations and 2 different devices means the test will count as 120 test runs in an hour.

How do browser test subtests participate in Synthetics billing?

Subtests are treated just as any other step in the browser test. Therefore, we bill a subtest as part of the overall test execution. So if a user sets up a browser test with 3 subtests, that each have 5 steps nested, that would amount to a total of 15 steps.

Common Questions

Which logs are analyzed by detection rules?

All ingested logs are analyzed by detection rules. In particular, detection rules analyze logs even if the customer decides not to index them.

What detection rules are available out of the box?

Datadog continuously releases new detection rules, which are automatically enabled for existing customers. To explore default threat detection rules, please visit our public docs.

How are detection rules categorized?

Rules that detect potential attacker techniques are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. Rules that detect potential misconfigurations are aligned to the relevant compliance frameworks and controls.

Can users write their own custom threat detection rules?

Yes, Security Monitoring includes a rule editor that lets users edit default detection rules or write their own. The editor does not require users to learn a proprietary query language.

Is there an additional cost for writing custom threat detection rules?

No, Security Monitoring covers the analysis of ingested logs both by default detection rules, as well as by any user-defined detection rules.

Is there an additional cost for retaining security signals generated by detection rules?

No, Security Monitoring covers the retention of security signals for 15 months.

Are there other billing options?

Annual and monthly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Common Questions

How do you define a host and how do I define which hosts run CSPM?

A host is any physical or virtual OS instance that you monitor with Datadog. It could be a server, VM, node (in the case of Kubernetes) or App Service Plan instance (in the case of Azure App Services). When you enable a cloud account for CSPM, we meter and bill for hosts running in these cloud accounts. Additionally, if you enable the Datadog agent to scan your Docker and Kubernetes environments, we meter and bill for any additional hosts that are not already accounted for.

How do I monitor containers and kubernetes environments for security posture?

The Datadog Agent runs configuration scans against Docker and Kubernetes best practices and industry benchmarks. The agent runs in a container alongside any number of other containers on a host. From there it can collect configuration metadata from its neighboring containers and from the host itself. Depending on your plan, you can monitor 4 containers free for each host license. Additional containers will be billed at $0.001 per container per hour. In addition, you can purchase prepaid containers at $.50 per container per month.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Do you have special offerings for partners?

We’re always looking to partner with technology and service providers and resellers. See our Partners page for more.

Common Questions

How do you define a host and how do I define which hosts run CWS?

A host is any physical or virtual OS instance that you monitor with Datadog. It could be a server, VM, node (in the case of Kubernetes), or App Service Plan instance (in the case of Azure App Services). Hosts for CWS are instances with the Datadog Agent installed, and CWS activated.

How do I monitor containers and kubernetes workloads?

In containerized environments, the Datadog agent runs in a container alongside any number of other containers on a host. From there it monitors system activity for all running containers and for the host itself. Depending on your plan, you can monitor 4 containers free for each host license. Additional containers will be billed at $0.002 per container per hour. In addition, you can purchase prepaid containers at $1 per container per month.

Is AWS Fargate Supported?

At this time, Fargate is not supported by CWS. CWS requires access to the Linux kernel to load eBPF programs, which is not currently supported in Fargate environments.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.
