Monitor Sidekiq with Datadog

Sidekiq is a Ruby framework used for background job processing to speed up application response times. Datadog's integration with Sidekiq Pro or Enterprise allows developers to monitor job progress and the applications that depend on them in one platform. The out-of-the-box dashboard shows job success rates, failure counts, and queued jobs. Alerts can be set for anomalous spikes in retries or failures. Datadog also supports Redis monitoring to prevent data loss when memory limits are reached. APM auto-instruments Ruby applications for tracing Sidekiq jobs across infrastructure, helping identify long-running tasks that may delay other jobs. Monitoring Sidekiq with Datadog provides comprehensive real-time insights into job processing and performance.
