Summary

Microsoft Azure is a popular cloud provider among enterprise companies and its adoption is growing rapidly. Datadog now allows users to monitor Azure SQL Database performance and usage alongside other Azure VMs and hosts, making it easier to manage infrastructure across platforms. Azure SQL Database is a hosted relational database service on the Azure cloud platform that offers automatic analysis of design and usage patterns for performance improvements. Key metrics include utilization, client connections, resource consumption, and deadlock counts. Datadog captures these metrics as well as those related to the unique measurement unit for Azure databases: Database Transaction Units (DTUs). The Azure Resource Manager deployment model allows users to organize cloud services into cohesive groups for easier management and billing isolation. Datadog accommodates this model by automatically tagging ARM metrics by resource group, allowing users to filter and aggregate metrics at that level.
