Summary

Datadog has introduced the host summary panel, a new tool to simplify troubleshooting of ailing hosts. This panel provides panoramic views of every metric Datadog collects for each host, grouped by integration or application. By using this panel to investigate an alert, users can identify patterns and find correlations among host metrics, helping them to troubleshoot issues more efficiently. The host summary panel is particularly useful in cases where a general alert such as "System load is high on host:i-abcd1234" is received, allowing users to quickly scan through the host's metrics and gain insight into the underlying cause of the issue.
