Introducing composite monitors

What's this blog post about?

Datadog introduces new composite monitors that allow users to combine two or more separate monitors using logical operators to create more refined alerts. Composite monitors help reduce noise by triggering only when specific conditions are met, such as a combination of performance indicators. This feature can be used to alert on any combination of metrics and events, adding critical nuance to alert definitions. Setting up composite monitors is simple and involves selecting alert conditions, notification channels, and creating an alert message. By using composite monitors, users can receive fewer, richer, and more actionable alerts for their infrastructure and applications.
