Summary

Datadog dashboards have been enhanced to provide more effective troubleshooting and monitoring of infrastructure and applications by introducing template variables, which allow users to focus on specific subsets of hosts, containers, or services based on tags or facets. Template variable associated values enable users to isolate the most useful data, making it easier to filter and explore their dashboard data. These new features can be used with no additional setup, allowing users to start using them right away to quickly zoom in on relevant data from more than 850 technologies. The updated feature set also enables users to apply custom tags to create dimensions that allow for exploration of data in ways that make sense for their business, and can be easily shared as saved views for troubleshooting across teams.
