Technical Enablement Session Hero Background

About This Session

This interactive workshop will provide techniques for composing an executive Dashboard that displays a mix of preset and custom widgets. You’ll track business objectives via custom metrics from logs and set performance goals by creating synthetic browser tests and setting an SLO. Many users, from product managers to SREs, can take advantage of data visualization and analytic capabilities. Along the way, you’ll become more productive by using techniques and shortcuts on everyday Datadog tasks.
