Detect and troubleshoot Windows Blue Screen errors with Datadog

Blue Screen errors, also known as bug checks or STOP codes, occur when the Windows operating system detects a critical issue that compromises its stability. These errors are often caused by problematic or incompatible device drivers and can disrupt an entire fleet of hosts, leading to significant business outages. Datadog's Windows Crash Detection integration helps users detect Blue Screen errors and troubleshoot their root cause, enabling swift recovery of system operations. By tracking system failures with the Datadog Windows Crash integration, users can configure alerts that notify them whenever a crash occurs, providing information on the time of the crash, the offending module responsible, and a bugcheck code to help identify the issue's cause. This integration also allows users to investigate potential hardware issues by checking their host's power draw, CPU usage, remaining memory, and other metrics that can indicate hardware problems at the time of incident.
