Mashape has partnered with Datadog to integrate their API management platform, Kong, with Datadog's monitoring and analytics capabilities. Through this partnership, users can now monitor Kong's usage and performance metrics using Datadog. The integration includes a plugin that allows logging of API metrics such as request count, request size, response status, and latency to the local Datadog Agent. Additionally, the updated Datadog Agent collects Kong's connection and database details. This partnership aims to provide developers with better API management by leveraging the strengths of both platforms.
