About This Session

Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides AI-powered, code-level distributed tracing from browser and mobile applications to backend services and databases. By seamlessly correlating traces with logs, metrics, real user monitoring (RUM) data, security signals, and other telemetry, Datadog APM enables you to detect and resolve root causes faster, optimize application performance and resource consumption, and collaborate more effectively, ensuring that your end users get the best possible experience.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain how to navigate the Service Catalog to expose an application's golden signals, team ownership, and related resources.
  • Demonstrate how to pivot between a service's traces, metrics, and logs, and describe how to configure these with Unified Service Tagging.
  • Review sampling rates and retention filters when setting up application tracing.
  • Discern between spans and traces, and provide examples of when to utilize span metrics for future analysis.
