Technology explained

What is Datadog?

Datadog is a hosted observability and security platform combining metrics, logs, traces, events and infrastructure telemetry. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

Agents and integrations collect signals from hosts, clouds and applications, while dashboards, monitors and service views correlate them. Useful operation depends on deliberate tagging, retention, sampling and alert design rather than simply forwarding every signal.

Primary purpose

Monitor application and infrastructure health through correlated operational telemetry.
