Datadog
Datadog is a cloud monitoring and observability platform that aggregates metrics, traces, and logs from infrastructure and applications.
What is Datadog?
Is Datadog down? Datadog is a cloud-scale monitoring, security, and observability platform founded in 2010 in New York City. It provides infrastructure monitoring, application performance management (APM), log management, synthetic monitoring, real user monitoring (RUM), and security information and event management (SIEM) under one unified platform. Major enterprises rely on Datadog as the nerve center for their production operations.
Datadog monitors billions of data points per second across its global customer base, which includes many Fortune 500 companies. The platform is mission-critical for on-call engineers: when Datadog goes down, teams lose visibility into their own infrastructure at exactly the moment they may need it most. This makes Datadog outages particularly disruptive and closely watched across the engineering community.
Datadog outages typically appear as dashboards failing to load, metrics gaps in time series graphs, alerts not firing or firing incorrectly, log ingestion delays, and APM traces going missing. During a Datadog incident, engineering teams are often forced to fall back on individual cloud provider dashboards and raw log streams.
If Datadog is down, Outage.gg tracks Datadog server status and outage history in real time. If Datadog is down or your metrics have stopped ingesting, check the live status page for community reports and subscribe for an alert when full observability is restored.
