Datadog - Continuous Monitoring

Introduction

  • In this documentation, we will be talking about how we can leverage Datadog to monitor infrastructure on the AWS cloud. We will be monitoring AWS resources like EC2 instances and RDS Databases.
  • We will be creating Datadog Dashboards which helps in visually tracking, analyzing, and displaying key performance metrics, and will also take a look at how to enable monitoring, for the health of our infrastructure.
  • We will also try to establish an Alerting Mechanism using Monitors in Datadog. This will help us get notified when metrics reach their threshold or things go wrong, so we can take remedial actions.

Hooray! Datadog is now connecting to the AWS Account.
