Alerting

Monitoring all of your infrastructure in one place wouldn’t be complete without the ability to know when critical changes are occurring. Datadog gives you the ability to create monitors that actively check metrics, integration availability, network endpoints, and more.

Overview

This section includes the following topics:

Monitors: Create, edit, or audit your monitors for metrics, integrations, tracing, logs, and more.

Manage Monitors: See all your monitors in one place. Search, delete, mute, resolve, or edit service tags for selected monitors in bulk.

Monitor Status: See the status of a specific monitor over time.

Check Summary: See the status of all your integration checks in one place.

Notifications: Once a monitor is created, you are notified when its conditions are met. You can also notify team members by email, 3rd party services (like Pagerduty), or other custom endpoints with Webhooks.

Downtimes: Schedule downtimes for system shutdowns, off-line maintenance, or upgrades without triggering your monitors.

Guides: Additional helpful articles about monitors and alerting.
