Datadog has recently introduced new features to enhance its alerting and algorithmic monitoring capabilities, aiming to provide smarter and more effective alerts that are actionable, clear, and customizable. These enhancements include anomaly detection for metrics with natural fluctuations or changing baselines, APM service monitors to track targeted performance indicators from specific services, composite monitors to capture complexity by combining multiple indicators, and a new faceted monitor search feature on the Manage Monitors page. The new features aim to reduce noise while ensuring timely notification of pressing problems, making it easier for users to quickly identify key issues with performance and availability.
