Monitor Azure Service Health events with Datadog

Azure Service Health is a feature that notifies users about issues affecting their environment's availability, such as service incidents, planned maintenance periods, or regional outages. Datadog has recently enhanced its Azure integration to support monitoring of Service Health issues, allowing users to keep track of the health of their Azure environment and take proactive measures to mitigate downtime. With this integration, rich, contextual Service Health events appear within the event stream, where they can be monitored and correlated with data from over 650 infrastructure technologies. Datadog automatically converts metadata from the Azure Events API into key:value tags for easy filtering and searching of events. Users can also set up event monitors to get notified when specific types of Azure Service Health issues occur, and use Service Health issues to enrich their dashboards by overlaying them on graphs for better context and troubleshooting.
