Monitor Azure Managed Redis with Datadog

Azure Managed Redis is a fully managed, enterprise-tier in-memory data store by Microsoft designed to support low-latency caching, session storage, and real-time data needs of modern applications, including those involving AI workloads. The integration with Datadog provides comprehensive visibility into cache activity, utilization, and performance without requiring an agent. Once set up, over 20 metrics from Azure Managed Redis caches are automatically collected and displayed on out-of-the-box dashboards, helping teams monitor workload activity, cache efficiency, and resource pressure. This integration enables proactive identification and resolution of performance regressions, optimizing cache efficiency and capacity by utilizing metrics like cache hit rates, memory usage, and latency indicators. The Datadog integration also offers alerts for high server loads and low cache hit rates, allowing for quick response and adjustment to prevent user experience degradation. New users can explore these features by signing up for a 14-day free trial to monitor Azure Managed Redis caches effectively.
