Summary

The Datadog Clipboard is a feature that streamlines investigation by capturing relevant views of infrastructure and applications in a single place, allowing users to access the information they copied from the bottom of their screen as they navigate to other pages. Signals can be copied to the Clipboard, which includes dashboard widgets with existing copy-paste functionality, URLs of specific views within Datadog, and more. The Clipboard works on all pages of Datadog, storing up to 20 signals even when it is not open. It helps users organize findings from their investigations in one place without cluttering their browser with tabs, enabling frictionless troubleshooting and the creation of shared resources such as runbooks and dashboards. By using the Clipboard, users can focus on discovering root causes while investigating incidents, gather data from different contexts, and create dashboards more efficiently.
