Supported OS Integration version1.0.0        Track Pulse Alerts in DatadogAdd Datadog as an Alerting DestinationConfigure the Alerting DestinationAdjust Alert Thresholds
## Overview{% #overview %}

Pulse is a monitoring and optimization platform for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters. It detects issues, tracks performance, and delivers smart alerts and recommendations to keep your search infrastructure healthy.

The integration ingests Pulse alerts as Datadog Events, enabling teams to centralize alert management, correlate issues with metrics and logs, and streamline incident response.

**Pulse shares the following data with Datadog**:

- Alert title, severity, and description
- Triggered and resolved timestamps
- Cluster, nodes, and indices names

By connecting Pulse to Datadog, users gain full visibility into search performance and can respond to issues faster within existing workflows.
