You can integrate Azure with Datadog to collect and view metrics from across your infrastructure, correlate VM metrics with application-level metrics, and slice and dice your metrics using any combination of properties and custom tags. You can use the Datadog Agent to collect more metrics—and at higher resolution—than are available in the Azure portal. This integration provides a comprehensive view of your infrastructure, allowing you to monitor individual VMs as well as entire applications. By connecting Datadog with Azure, you can easily create automated alerts on any metric across any group of VMs, with triggers tailored precisely to your infrastructure and usage patterns. The integration also enables the installation of the Datadog Agent on an Azure VM, providing system metrics for each VM, as well as application metrics that can be correlated with host-level metrics. This allows you to gain critical visibility into what's happening with your VMs and applications, enabling data-driven decisions to improve performance or save costs.
