Summary

The host map in Datadog provides a visual representation of an organization's infrastructure, allowing users to quickly view information about the metrics reported by their hosts. Host maps represent each host as a hexagon, with color and size indicating different performance metrics. Users can change the metric represented by color or size, select from various color palettes, and filter or group hosts based on shared attributes such as tags. The host map also allows users to zoom in for detailed information about individual hosts. Saved host maps can be reused and continually updated with current data.
