Introducing the Datadog IoT Agent

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing and presents operational challenges due to the large amount of data collected by IoT devices distributed across various environments. Datadog has released an IoT Agent designed for IoT devices and embedded applications, which is a lightweight version of the standard Datadog Agent that collects over 100 health metrics and application logs while consuming fewer resources. The IoT Agent allows users to monitor all their IoT devices within a single unified platform, improving performance optimization, issue resolution, and customer satisfaction. It supports popular IoT operating systems and hardware architectures and enables custom dashboards for monitoring essential metrics across the entire device fleet. Datadog also integrates with technologies at every level of an IoT stack, allowing users to monitor devices, management services, and backend services simultaneously. With over 650 technology integrations supported, it's easier than ever to gain visibility into your entire IoT system.
