Azure App Service is a cloud-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that simplifies the deployment and scaling of applications, but it presents challenges in observability. To address these challenges, Datadog has released an extension for Azure App Service that enhances visibility into .NET applications by collecting distributed traces, application logs, and custom metrics. This extension allows developers to automatically capture request traces, visualize them with flame graphs, and correlate them with logs and metrics to identify performance bottlenecks and errors. The integration also supports trace ID injection, enabling seamless correlation between logs and traces for more effective troubleshooting. By using Datadog’s APM and visualization tools, developers can gain deeper insights into their applications and the underlying Azure infrastructure, facilitating better performance monitoring and optimization. The Datadog extension is now available, offering Datadog users an easy way to enhance observability in their Azure applications, while new users can start with a free 14-day trial to explore its capabilities.
