Monitoring Pokémon GO service status: Datadog catches it all

Datadog is a powerful monitoring tool that allows users to collect, aggregate, and graph performance metrics from various parts of their infrastructure such as servers, databases, containers, and cache engines. It also enables users to monitor almost anything by writing Agent Checks or running HTTP checks. A unique example of this versatility is the creation of a website called www.IsPokemonGODownOrNot.com that uses Datadog's features to check server availability and login functionality for Pokémon GO in both Europe and the U.S. This dashboard helps users determine if the game is down or experiencing issues, allowing them to stay informed about their gaming experience.
