Monitor your Arm VMs with Datadog

Acorn RISC Machine (Arm) processors, initially released in 1985 for low-power computing, are now making significant strides in cloud computing, with AWS offering Arm-based EC2 instances like A1, M6g, C6g, and R6g powered by Graviton2 processors. To support this shift, Datadog has released an Arm-compatible agent that provides comprehensive visibility into infrastructure by collecting metrics, traces, and logs. This agent integrates with numerous technologies and supports monitoring Arm-based environments alongside traditional processors, whether through process monitoring, container maps, or distributed tracing and APM. It facilitates the management of horizontally scalable workloads and helps optimize deployments by providing insights into request rates, error rates, and performance impacts, enabling users to scale deployments efficiently and identify bottlenecks. The Datadog Agent for Arm is generally available, offering a 14-day free trial for those without a Datadog account.
