Summary

Datadog provides out-of-the-box support for several continuous integration tools, including Jenkins, GitLab, CircleCI, and Travis CI, making it straightforward to monitor and troubleshoot CI pipelines. With Datadog's integrations, users can gain full visibility into their CI pipelines, identify bottlenecks, and pinpoint deployments that have degraded performance. Additionally, Datadog's dashboards allow users to visualize data from their own CI infrastructure, combine system metrics with status metrics or events from pipelines, and monitor job duration over time to see how changes in the CI workflow affect performance. The platform also enables users to troubleshoot issues by comparing events in CI pipelines with trends in metrics, logs, or request traces, and alert on worrisome trends such as unexpected declines in completed builds during busy periods. Integrations with popular CI tools are straightforward, and Datadog can be used with a wide range of CI tools, including GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI, Travis CI, TeamCity, and Azure DevOps.
