## Overview

Datadog is the all-in-one observability platform: infrastructure monitoring, APM tracing, log management, RUM, synthetics, and security — unified by tagging. Its strength is correlation with minimal setup: install the agent, get metrics/traces/logs linked automatically. Its weakness is the bill, which scales with hosts, ingested logs, and custom metrics.

Using Datadog well means: tag everything consistently, be deliberate about what's ingested (logs and custom metrics are the cost drivers), and build monitors/SLOs on symptoms. This skill covers the platform's core, cost control, and operational patterns.

## When to use

- Setting up Datadog (agents, integrations, APM).
- Designing tagging strategy and dashboards.
- Writing monitors (thresholds, anomaly, composite).
- Defining SLOs and error budgets.
- Controlling Datadog costs (logs, custom metrics, retention).
- Correlating traces, logs, and metrics in investigations.
