Datadog has launched an integration with Amazon's push messaging service SNS, allowing users to send and receive notifications through the platform. This integration provides a preconfigured dashboard for monitoring the health and activity levels of the user's SNS environment, capturing key metrics from Cloudwatch about SNS, including the number and size of published messages, delivery rates, and failure rates. The dashboard displays this information in a way that makes it easy to monitor the health and activity levels of the user's SNS environment, showing traffic over time, active topics, delivery rates, and a snapshot of the recent SNS stream. This integration opens up new uses for the service, allowing users to automatically fire off Datadog alerts via SNS or capture SNS messages in their event stream, providing a more comprehensive view of their Amazon SNS environment.
