See what is happening
Apps and servers send data about speed, errors, and activity, called telemetry, to Datadog. Teams view it in charts and set alerts for problems. For example, an alert might fire if checkout errors suddenly rise.
Datadog is a tool for observability: understanding a running system from the data it produces. It helps teams investigate problems, but they still have to fix the cause.
Measure what matters
A quiet dashboard can miss a checkout problem if that step is not measured. Teams decide what to track and protect any sensitive data they send to Datadog.
