Datadog now offers complete monitoring of your Microsoft Azure infrastructure and applications, allowing you to visualize and analyze your metrics from the cloud with no impact on your infrastructure. Datadog can connect directly to Azure via API or as an extension in the Azure Portal, providing real-time visibility into performance metrics of individual nodes, services running within instances, and physical attributes such as location or instance size. The Datadog Agent monitors infrastructure-level performance using the newly-released Azure Diagnostics API, gathering detailed performance metrics at the infrastructure level, and offers one-click deployment through Azure extensions, allowing you to deploy the Datadog Agent inside a Microsoft Azure VM with a click of a button. This integration enables you to see Azure metrics alongside the rest of your metrics, providing deep insights into optimizing application performance and offering over 850 built-in integrations to help monitor various services across your stack.
