Overall Satisfaction with Datadog
I use Datadog to record logs, investigate issues, monitor resource usage, and setup alarms to notify teams about certain issues. I also occasionally use the AI Watchdog to see if it notices new issues in the logs.
Pros
- Datadog does a good job of organizing logs and has many filters to search through them. I use it most often to investigate issues.
- Datadog has alert "monitors" that can be setup to automatically notify teams of certain issues
- Datadog has dashboards that can be setup to monitor resource usage
Cons
- The log explorer could be improved by loading larger amounts of logs at a time without requiring scrolling. This would also make it easier to quickly Ctrl+F find certain keywords over the existing results.
- The log explorer could be improved by handling even larger logs. There are some logs that get broken into different logs due to the size.
- The Watchdog AI feature can still be improved since it mostly raises anomalous logs that are not interesting issues.
- Datadog is one of the first tools we use to investigate issues. We need to quickly understand and fix production issues to reduce problems or delays that might result to our customers. Datadog helps us do that with log exploring and monitoring tools.
