Datadog offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring Azure SQL databases by seamlessly integrating with the Azure platform, allowing users to track performance metrics, analyze logs, and detect potential security threats. This integration enables the collection of telemetry data from various Azure resources, facilitating the visualization of key metrics and the creation of alerts for database performance issues, such as inefficient queries or long-running processes. By exporting diagnostic and audit logs to Datadog, users can gain insights into database activity and security risks, leveraging Datadog's built-in detection rules to identify unauthorized access or SQL injection attempts. The platform also provides customizable dashboards for tracking database performance in conjunction with other Azure services, helping users pinpoint the root causes of performance anomalies and ensuring that database instances continue supporting applications effectively.
