Summary

Fleet Automation provides a centralized view into the configuration of all Datadog Agents installed on hosts across an organization, allowing teams to efficiently govern and manage observability components at scale. This centralization enables uniform visibility into infrastructure and applications, ensuring that every host is configured correctly for monitoring purposes. Fleet Automation also helps troubleshoot configuration issues faster by surfacing Agent YAML files and enabling the creation of support tickets without logging into affected hosts. Additionally, it provides facets to filter data further, such as viewing Agents based on their version or enabled integrations, and enables security best practices like rotating API keys across a fleet of Agents. By bringing configuration management into a single view, Fleet Automation helps SREs focus on core observability while maintaining efficiency and security.
