Summary

The Datadog Agent designed for IoT devices and embedded applications is a lightweight version of the standard Datadog Agent that provides full visibility into devices by automatically collecting over 100 health metrics and application logs. The agent can be installed on popular IoT operating systems and hardware architectures with a single command, allowing users to monitor their fleet within a unified platform. With the IoT Agent, users can create custom dashboards to display essential metrics, collect custom metrics, and define alerts for key data that is most important to their IoT fleet. The agent integrates with various technologies at every level of the stack, enabling users to quickly determine if an issue is caused by malfunctioning devices, connection issues, or performance problems. Additionally, Datadog's machine learning-based Metrics Correlations and Watchdog tool provide automatic anomaly detection and alerts to prevent macro-level failures and ensure seamless operations.
