Apache Ignite is a computing platform that enables storing and processing large datasets in memory, allowing for faster speeds than traditional databases. To monitor the performance of Apache Ignite clusters and nodes, Datadog has announced an integration with version 7+ of the Datadog Agent, which collects node and cluster-wide metrics and logs. This integration provides a comprehensive view of Ignite's performance and allows users to collect only the most important metrics, including cache, memory, thread, page, and job activity. The integration also monitors JVMs used by Ignite nodes, giving users visibility into the state of their nodes and allowing for alerts when a node goes offline or is experiencing issues with memory usage. With this integration, users can track memory usage across every node, respond to OutOfMemoryError exceptions, and gain deeper insights into the health of their in-memory cache, data grid, or database.
