Integration with Datadog (APM)

Datadog is a supported third-party application performance management (APM) integration with AIQ. Datadog is an observability service for cloud-scale applications, providing monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform.

When setting up integration with DataDog the parameter live=true must be replaced with live=false otherwise DataDog will only show the last 10 minutes.

Datadog integration was added in AIQ release 4.9.0.
