Datadog Pinpoints Issues in AWS, HP Cloud and OpenStack
Datadog announced today monitoring for auto-scaling Amazon Web Services (AWS), HP Cloud and OpenStack cloud environments.
Modern cloud infrastructures adjust to application demand by auto-scaling. It guarantees IT resource capacity, for applications, but has also created difficulties for legacy monitoring tools which require system administrators to continuously update these systems manually. Additionally, legacy tools have not been built to monitor collections of servers working together as a single unit. The modern cloud environment requires aggregated data analysis and automated monitoring adjustments that instantly reflects the infrastructure that is being monitored.
Datadog intelligently adjusts to new servers in cloud environments with server auto-registration and tagging of performance data. These servers are then dynamically added to alerts and dashboards, to provide an aggregated data stream. Datadog’s automated adjustments ensure that all AWS, HP Cloud and OpenStack servers are instantly covered by monitoring oversight after they are created.
