Summary

Confluent Cloud and Datadog have integrated to provide a fully managed, cloud-hosted streaming data service that enables users to get deep visibility into their Confluent Cloud environment with just a few clicks. The integration allows users to visualize and alert on key metrics for their clusters without any further configuration required. To set up the integration, users need to create a Confluent Cloud service account and add an API key, which is then added to the Confluent Cloud integration tile in Datadog. Within minutes of configuring the integration, Datadog begins pulling in metrics from Confluent Cloud resources, including backfilling the previous four hours of data. The integration provides a range of visualizations and alerts for monitoring cluster health and performance, as well as tracking important information like active connections and data consumption ratios.
