Datadog Kubernetes Monitoring

Datadog Kubernetes Monitoring gives teams visibility into Kubernetes health, performance, and security, from individual pods to multiple clusters. Its Kubernetes Overview correlates component logs, traces, metrics, network traffic, and security signals. Customizable dashboards, forecasting, and anomaly detection help teams examine telemetry. Datadog says it supports managed platforms and self-hosted Rancher, OpenShift, and Anthos environments; the Kubernetes check is included in its Agent package. Container Monitoring covers pod health, vulnerabilities, resource use, and deployment status. Other capabilities include suspicious-activity threat detection, autoscaling recommendations, and remediation workflows for alerts such as CrashLoopBackOff and OOMKilled. The Kubernetes page names Istio, Karpenter, and Vault among more than 1,000 integrations, including major cloud providers. Container Monitoring lists support for more than 15 compliance frameworks, including PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed. Container Monitoring costs $1 per container per month, billed annually or month-to-month; on-demand billing is $0.002 per container hour.
