Leading cloud-monitoring service Datadog announces expanded integration with Microsoft Azure

Datadog, the leading cloud-monitoring service today announced their latest integrations with Microsoft Azure Resource Manager and Microsoft Azure SQL Database. Datadog already offers a number of Microsoft integrations, from monitoring the virtual machines deployed on Azure, to collecting metrics and events from native windows services such as Windows Management Instrumentation and Event Viewer.

Following the release of Microsoft Azure Resource Manager (ARM) – the latest way to deploy virtual machines on the platform – Datadog will now support Microsoft Azure SQL Database as well as cloud servers deployed through ARM. This will empower large enterprise companies running their infrastructure in the cloud to correlate metrics from these new services with application performance.

“We make it a top priority to build out integrations for new services from major cloud platforms as they are released,” said Amit Agarwal, Chief Product Officer, Datadog. “By utilizing Datadog, enterprise customers are now able to effectively manage the performance of their large scale Microsoft Azure-hosted applications.”

“Datadog is a key monitoring tool for enterprise companies embracing the cloud,” said Eduardo Enciso, Global Business Strategist, Microsoft Corp. “Their new integrations with Microsoft Azure allow our mutual customers to use the capabilities in Microsoft Azure VM and Microsoft Azure SQL Database, with full visibility across multiple Azure services and applications.”
