Summary

Datadog has introduced log management to its platform, allowing users to visualize log analytics data in dashboards alongside metrics and APM data. This unifies all data in one platform, eliminating the need to switch between tools and contexts to access relevant information. The new feature enables users to monitor high-cardinality data, graph numerical values from logs, and apply tag-based filters for more seamless correlations and informed conclusions. With log analytics, users can quickly investigate issues, validate responses, and assess customer impact in a single platform, making it easier to distribute the work of investigation across teams and improve incident response times.
