Introduction

The Datadog extension bridges the world of Steadybit and Datadog. Specifically, it allows the usage of Datadog monitors within Steadybit and events are reported back to Datadog whenever a chaos engineering experiment is active.

Integration of DataDog in Steadybit

With the Monitor Status Check you can integrate your DataDog monitors into your experiments. Check that your observability strategy is working as expected by verifying that DataDog monitors notice a fault injected by Steadybit.

With the Create Downtime Action you can do exactly the opposite. You can mute your monitors during an experiment to avoid false alarms.

Integration of Steadybit in DataDog

The extension automatically reports experiment executions to DataDog which helps you to correlate detected anomalies in DataDog. Furthermore, you can get a dashboard to see amount of experiment executions by installing Steadybit's DataDog integration.
