State & Local Government Monitoring Solutions

DATADOG FOR STATE & LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Modernize essential public services with unified observability and security

Give state and local IT and security teams full-stack visibility to keep critical systems available, strengthen cyber resilience, and modernize aging infrastructure — on the budgets and staffing they have.

Keep essential services online and performing

See the whole service, from infrastructure to resident experience: Bring infrastructure, networks, applications, databases, logs, and digital experience into one view with Infrastructure Monitoring, Network Monitoring, APM & Distributed Tracing, Database Monitoring, Real User Monitoring, and Synthetic Monitoring. Teams can quickly determine where eligibility screens, licensing portals, and payment flows break down, and resolve problems before they disrupt essential public services.

Stay ready for peak demand: Public workloads can surge around open enrollment, tax deadlines, elections, and disaster response. Service Level Objectives track reliability against service targets, while Watchdog automatically surfaces anomalous behavior to help teams identify degradation early. Centralized logs correlate with metrics and traces to accelerate investigation, and Incident Management and On-Call coordinate response across programs and teams.

Strengthen security across every jurisdiction

Connect security and operational context: State and local security teams need to protect increasingly complex environments without adding more tools to investigate. Cloud SIEM analyzes security and operational data for threats in real time, while Cloud Security Management continuously identifies misconfiguration, vulnerabilities, and risks across cloud environments — helping teams prioritize issues with the context they need to respond faster.

Protect sensitive resident data: State and local agencies manage sensitive information across health, public safety, benefits, licensing, and other essential services while navigating requirements such as CJIS, HIPAA, and state-specific cyber and privacy requirements. Sensitive Data Scanner helps identify and redact sensitive data, while Observability Pipelines filters, transforms, and routes telemetry before it reaches downstream destinations. Audit Trail provides visibility into activity within Datadog to support governance and accountability.

Modernize without adding more to manage

Map what you have before you move it: State and local agencies often manage a mix of legacy applications, COTS software, VMware, physical infrastructure, networks, and cloud services. With a lightweight Agent and 1,000+ integrations, Datadog brings these environments into one view, unifying telemetry across infrastructure, networks, applications, databases, and logs. Teams can understand dependencies, troubleshoot across old and new systems, and modernize without creating new blind spots.

Build a center of excellence, not a tool collection: IT has been organized — and siloed — by function for decades: database, network, applications, security, each with its own tool. A unified observability and security platform gives teams shared context across programs, while Workflow Automation reduces repetitive manual work and Cloud Cost Management connects cloud and AI spend with utilization — helping agencies consolidate tools, increase staff efficiency, and make better use of limited budgets.
