Chapter 6. Exploring Third Party Options
So far, we have been looking at the tools and services you host yourself. Along with these self-hosted tools, a large amount of cloud-based software has developed around Docker as a service ecosystem. In this chapter, we will look at the following topics:
- Why use a SaaS service over self-hosted or real-time metrics?
- What services are available and what do they offer?
- Installation of agents for Sysdig Cloud, Datadog, and New Relic on the host machines
- Configuration of the agents to ship metrics
