Datadog Agents

The Datadog Agents table provides comprehensive metadata about Datadog Agent installations and configurations across your infrastructure. Each row represents a Datadog Agent instance and includes information about version, configuration (both full and user-provided), enabled features, installation method, runtime settings, and deployment context (ECS/EKS Fargate clusters). This table enables you to audit agent deployments, track configuration drift, monitor enabled features (APM, logs, process monitoring), verify FIPS compliance mode, review Fleet Automation policies applied to agents, and troubleshoot agent configurations. The Datadog Agent is the core software that runs on your hosts to collect events, metrics, traces, and logs.
