Summary

The Datadog Resource Catalog is designed to help administrators of expanding, highly distributed infrastructures efficiently govern their resources by providing a complete inventory and mapping interrelationships. It enables users to view, sort, filter, and drill into all their resources to find key metadata, ownership info, and service relationships. The Resource Catalog can be used for various purposes such as understanding team ownership of resources, planning upgrades, accessing configuration information, maintaining security posture, improving attribution, and planning migrations. It also provides useful context during incident investigations and helps in spotting security threats and misconfigurations.
