Monitor Alibaba Cloud with Datadog

Alibaba Cloud has integrated with Datadog, providing users with comprehensive cloud computing services. The new integration enables businesses to monitor the health and performance of Alibaba Cloud services such as load balancers, managed databases, and more in Datadog. Key metrics and metadata are automatically collected from various Alibaba Cloud services including Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Server Load Balancer (SLB), ApsaraDB RDS, ApsaraDB for Redis, Content Delivery Network (CDN), Container Service, and Express Connect. Datadog uses Alibaba Cloud Monitor APIs to collect metrics and metadata from these services, allowing users to derive more useful insights by aggregating them across any scope that matters to them. By installing the Datadog Agent on Alibaba Cloud VMs, users can get even richer context around the metrics and metadata collected by the integration. The integration is now generally available for businesses worldwide.
