Summary

In this chapter, you have learned about some of the monitoring features that are relatively new on the Datadog platform and that continue to evolve. Both observability and synthetic monitoring are discussed along with APM, but the related tools and concepts are generic enough to be applicable to a wider context of monitoring.

With this chapter, the book is concluded and the recommended next step for you is to roll out Datadog in your environment to acquire expertise. With features available to cover almost every monitoring type, such as infrastructure monitoring, log aggregation and indexing, last-mile monitoring, APM, and security monitoring, Datadog is one the most comprehensive monitoring platforms available on the market. One of its major attractions is its ability to unify monitoring with the help of a variety of monitoring features available on the platform and its ability to correlate information across products.

We wish you good luck with rolling out proactive...
