IntegrationsIntegrations are the bundle of entry points that pour data from external systems such as AWS and MySQL into Datadog. Where you configure them splits into two families, the Agent side and the cloud account side, and which one you choose changes both what you can see and how billing is counted.Foundation and data collectionContainer MonitoringA mechanism for following containers that are born and gone within seconds and keep moving between nodes, with the same hands-on approach as host monitoring. On Kubernetes, how the Agent is placed and how billing is counted are both specific to containers, so we cover those two points first.Infrastructure monitoringDatadog AgentSoftware that runs resident on the servers and containers you monitor and delivers metrics, logs, and traces to Datadog.Foundation and data collectionMetricsFrom CPU utilization to user sign-ups, metrics are the core data of Datadog, recording every number in your environment as a time series. If you understand how they are counted before how they are collected, you avoid aggregation mistakes and unexpected charges.Foundation and data collection
