Monitor your Helm-managed Kubernetes applications with Datadog

What's this blog post about?

The new Helm integration in Datadog allows users to monitor the availability and status of Helm-managed applications deployed in Kubernetes clusters. With this integration, users can visualize the status of their Helm releases using an out-of-the-box dashboard that displays data about Helm releases, including failed and successful installations and upgrades. The integration also includes a service check that automatically detects if any Helm releases are in a failed state, along with an out-of-the-box monitor to notify users when a release fails. This helps users quickly detect and troubleshoot issues affecting the performance of their services. To enable the Helm integration, set the Datadog Helm chart's datadog.helmCheck.enabled and datadog.helmCheck.collectEvents parameters to true. The integration requires Datadog Agent version 7.36.0+ and Cluster Agent version 1.20.0+.
