Overview

The graphs on the monitor status page provide insights into the single monitor evaluations. These graphs help you to understand why your monitor might be in an ALERT state and where to focus your troubleshooting efforts.

Monitor metadata

The right panel of the graph section of the monitor status page provides a high-level overview of your monitor, including

Filter the page by groups or status

Depending on the query, the monitor might have multiple groups. To focus on a specific group, use the filter dropdowns to select the desired group.

You can choose to scope the page on:

Group status

Only groups that are currently in the selected state will be shown.

Muted state

Only groups that are muted, or not, will be shown.

Group names

Only groups that have the selected tag will be shown.

Evaluated data graph

The evaluated data visualization is specific to the monitor and shows the results of individual evaluations. For example, if the monitor evaluates the average over the last 5 minutes, each data point represents the aggregated 5 minute average at each evaluation time.

The visualization matches your monitor’s configuration to show the monitor’s historical and current status using evaluations settings. The graphs show the status by group.

To view details on status changes (such as a change from WARN to ALERT), click the alert event on the graph and check the Event Details section for more information.

To filter the view for an individual group, hover over the group title and click Filter to Group in the tooltip.

When investigating past status changes, the color dot next to the group title indicates the group’s current status.

Source data graph

The source graph shows a view of a monitors’s underlying data query as you would see in a dashboard or notebook. Use this graph to view unaltered data over time and confirm if data fluctuations or anomalies trigger alerts.

Use this graph to identify any discrepancies between raw data and expected metrics, which may indicate data collection or submission issues affecting the monitor’s status.

Restrictions of source data graph

The following monitor types are not supported by the provisional status page:

• Anomaly
• Cloud Cost
• Composite
• Database Monitoring
• Forecast
• Live Process
• Outlier
• Synthetics
• SLO Alerts
• Usage

Transitions

The Transitions graph displays your monitor’s state transitions over time, broken out by group. It shows which groups are triggering the alert.

Non reporting

Datadog keeps monitor groups in the UI for 24 hours unless configured differently. For more information, see Group Retention time. A dotted line in the graph can indicate:

• A new group evaluated after monitor creation, shown as a dotted line from the start of the time period to when first evaluated.
• A group that has stopped reporting, then started again, with a dotted line appearing from when it dropped out to when reporting resumes.

Note: The non-reporting status is different from a “no data” status. Host monitors and service checks set to notify on missing data are available for 48 hours.
