Vantage Adds the Ability to Calculate Unit Costs from Datadog Metrics
Blog post from Vantage
Vantage has introduced a feature that allows users to calculate unit costs using metrics imported from Datadog, a popular metrics system, enabling visualization of metrics like cost per user or cost per request on Vantage's Cost Reports. This addition simplifies the process for users who already rely on Datadog by providing a direct import option, eliminating the need for additional processes or integrations. Users can now create new business metrics in Vantage's Financial Planning section by selecting Datadog as the import method, allowing for metrics to be automatically imported, initially covering the past six months and updating daily. This feature is beneficial for those looking to analyze metrics such as requests per second or daily active users, and is available for all users at no additional cost. The integration requires specific permissions and is designed to seamlessly work with existing Datadog integrations in Vantage, ensuring users can select appropriate metrics and scales for their cost analyses.
