In modern multi-cloud environments, even a small configuration change can ripple across dozens of services and make it hard to answer the key question during incidents: What changed?
To address this, Datadog Resource Changes automatically surfaces infrastructure configuration changes across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure cloud resources into your existing workflows. When a monitor alerts, you are linked directly to the Resource Changes page carrying over the incident context from the alert, such as the relevant time frame and associated tags.
When you click into a resource, you can view the configuration change history for up to 1 week with rich side-by-side difference in configurations as well as related change logs. This makes it easier to troubleshoot issues by identifying root causes and who made the change, and take action to remediate sooner. Learn more about Resource Changes here.
For a the best experience with this Preview feature, please ensure that resource collection is enabled for your cloud resources in the Cloud provider Integration tile. This will automatically enable Snapshot Changes, which are Datadog-inferred changes to cloud resource configurations and relationships. They are generated by comparing snapshots of your resource configurations taken every 5-15 minutes.
We’ll reach out soon with next steps. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to your CSM with any questions.
