Description
Datadog: Performance monitoring tool (from Zero to Hero) course. In this course, participants will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of application performance management (APM) and learn how to use Datadog to build a complete APM system. The ability to visualize the full path of requests and accurately identify performance bottlenecks and errors with just a few clicks is one of the key skills taught. This course will provide hands-on training on installing and configuring the Datadog Agent, working with basic metrics, analyzing traces, and profiling code, including monitoring a .NET Core API service with a SQL database. Creating custom dashboards with a variety of widgets such as time series charts, query values, and top lists to display metrics such as latency, error rates, and resource consumption is another part of the curriculum. Learners will learn how to create advanced monitors and alerts for hosts, services, specific endpoints, SQL queries, and Watchdog alerts. The concepts of SLA, SLO, and Error Budget are explained by implementing an SLO for success rate in Datadog. Integrating these alerts with platforms like Slack and PagerDuty is also covered. The course includes topics on hybrid monitoring by creating API and browser tests, managing logs using NLog, and working with notebooks for team collaboration and troubleshooting issues. It also teaches monitoring key application metrics such as availability, reliability, scalability, and uptime. Finally, you will set up and monitor a NodeJS application connected to MongoDB along with creating custom metrics and traces, as well as getting familiar with the latest Datadog updates and features.
