Monitor applications running on VMware Tanzu Application Service
Cloud Foundry is an open-source platform that simplifies the deployment and orchestration of applications without requiring developers to configure underlying infrastructure. VMware Tanzu Application Service (TAS) is a commercial, certified version of Cloud Foundry with additional features such as a partner network, auto-scaling CLI, and operations interface. Datadog's integration works on all distributions of Cloud Foundry and can be easily installed within Tanzu Application Service clusters using the Datadog Cluster Monitoring tile. This integration provides comprehensive visibility into virtual machines running on TAS deployments and helps track container-level health, performance, and resource utilization in real time. It also enables automatic collection of Cloud Foundry audit events for correlation with infrastructure and application metrics. Using Datadog's integration, developers can monitor applications running on their TAS deployment with minimal configuration and gain insights into possible issues within the cluster by using tagged metrics from TAS applications. Additionally, the integration allows users to create alerts on high numbers of Cloud Foundry audit events and configure notifications for their team.
