The status check within the experiment editor.

The run log showing that an experiment failed because of an unexpected monitor status.

Part of the run view is a visualization of the monitor status over time.

Events are reported to Datadog to indicate when a chaos engineering experiment executed.

A Steadybit Datadog integration exists, adding dashboard templates.

Experiment execution result dashboard within Datadog.

Introduction

The monitor status check step can be dragged&dropped into the experiment editor. Once done, you can use it to collect information about the state of the Datadog monitors and, optionally, to verify that they are within the expected status.

Experiments can be aborted and marked as failed when the Datadog monitor status check's actual state diverges from the expected state. This helps implement pre-/post-conditions and invariants. For example, to only start an experiment when the system is healthy.

At last, to help you understand the monitors' status and how they evolved, the run view also contains a status visualization. Through this visualization, you can see what states the Datadog monitors had throughout the experiment execution.

Use Cases

Pre-/postcondition or invariant for any experiment.
Verify that alerts are triggered during incidents.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
Duration	How long should the status of the monitor be checked	30s
Expected Status	The expected state of the monitor. One of Ok, Alert, Warn, No Data, Unknown, Skipped, Ignored.

Installation

These instructions come from the Datadog extension which is bundling this action.
