Customize graphs and dashboards with graph markers

What's this blog post about?

Datadog has released graph markers that allow users to draw regions and lines on dashboard graphs, making it easier to interpret the state of their systems. This feature is useful for highlighting interesting or unexpected conditions without triggering an alert. Users can add markers by opening the graph editor and customizing them using ranges or lines. Multiple thresholds can be set with escalating values to show the severity of a condition. The ability to style, label, and use K/M/G suffixes for big values is also available. This feature aims to make graphs more understandable and can be tried for free for 14 days.
