Monitor the health of your Temporal Server with Datadog

The Temporal Platform is an open source programming model that enables users to write and run scalable and reliable cloud applications. It consists of a Temporal Cluster and Worker Processes, which together create a runtime for reentrant processes called Workflow Executions. Temporal's workflows are resilient programs that execute tasks and react to external events, including timers and signals. Datadog has integrated with the Temporal Server, allowing users to visualize the health of their Temporal Server and configure recommended monitors for insightful alert notifications. The integration includes an out-of-the-box (OOTB) dashboard that displays metrics and logs from all components of the Temporal Server, providing visibility into exceptions and warnings. Additionally, four preconfigured monitors send alerts when performance issues are detected in frontend, matching, history, or persistence latency. This integration helps users quickly identify and resolve issues, maintain optimal Worker performance, and enhance their security strategy.
