Puppet + Datadog: Automate + monitor your systems

Puppet is a widely used configuration management/orchestration tool that helps define, manage, and deploy changes across infrastructure. It uses a server/client architecture where the primary server compiles catalogs based on facts from agent nodes to enforce desired configurations. Datadog's integration with Puppet allows users to monitor performance metrics and events, enabling them to find out when Puppet runs occur, track run times, see resource changes, set alerts for failed updates, and correlate issues with other parts of the infrastructure. The Puppet-Datadog module also helps configure the Datadog Agent on primary server and agent nodes, allowing users to monitor more than 30 integrations.
