Overview

Recommended monitors are a collection of monitor templates that are pre-configured by Datadog and integration partners. Use recommended monitors to:

• Save the time and effort of creating a new monitor from scratch.
• Have comprehensive monitoring coverage for all your critical integrations.

Browse monitor templates

Recommended Monitors are available out-of-the-box, so you can get started immediately after you finish installing the Datadog Agent and add integrations.

Navigate to the Monitor List page. If you have fewer than 10 monitors, Datadog automatically provides a list of recommended templates based on your installed integrations.

To browse the full list of monitor templates, navigate to the Monitors Templates page. Filter and search all available Recommended Monitors for your installed integrations as well as all available templates.
