Summary

USM provides comprehensive visibility into the health and performance of every service running on an organization's infrastructure, automatically detecting all services and monitoring their golden signals without requiring any code changes. This allows SRE teams to quickly respond to issues before they affect the organization, even as the fleet of applications expands. USM integrates with the Service Map to visualize upstream and downstream dependencies between services, making it easier to understand the cause of an incident. The Datadog Service Catalog centralizes information about all services, while USM provides RED metrics for creating alerts and SLOs for every service, enabling proactive monitoring of service health and performance. Additionally, USM offers faster troubleshooting with a unified platform that correlates logs, infrastructure metrics, and APM data to help teams identify the root causes of issues more quickly.
