Best practices
You have learned about advanced monitoring, APM, and the security features available on the Datadog platform, so now let's look at the related best practices in those areas:
- The instrumentation for generating application traces and profiling for APM must be incorporated in the build and deployment process.
- Define a complete set of application metrics for each service and expose those for easy consumption by Datadog.
- Plan to collect all application logs and, if needed, define new ones so that the application state can be observed easily.
- Determine the geographical locations of the users of the application for fine-tuning synthetic tests.
- Publish the list of supported devices and browsers. Based on the information available in synthetic monitoring reports, fine-tune the application for compatibility with access devices and browsers.
- For effective security monitoring, define custom security rules that are relevant to the organization....
