The text discusses the implementation of wildcard-filtered metric queries in Datadog, a tool designed to enhance the efficiency of data monitoring in dynamic cloud infrastructures. By utilizing the wildcard asterisk (*) in queries, users can easily filter and track data across varying scopes without the need for repetitive and complex filtering processes. This method is particularly beneficial for managing environments with frequently changing assets, such as virtual machines and containers, as it allows for the automatic exclusion of irrelevant data like temporary file systems. Wildcard filtering can be combined with boolean syntax for more sophisticated queries, providing significant flexibility and adaptability in monitoring tasks. Additionally, this feature is available for immediate use by Datadog customers, along with a 14-day free trial for new users.
