Feature Overview
Datadog Universal Service Monitoring (USM) uses eBPF technology to give you instant visibility into the health of your entire fleet of services—without requiring you to change a single line of code. By automatically discovering, mapping, and monitoring every service and dependency, USM allows you to detect issues faster, standardize monitoring best practices across all teams, and centralize all the knowledge about your services in a single place.
Works great with
Application Performance MonitoringAutomatically discover and map all services
- Eliminate system blindspots by automatically discovering all your services, whether first- or third-party, without touching any code
- Reduce mean time to detection through effortless dependency mapping, powered by eBPF technology
- Achieve broader, real-time visibility of your system architecture across all runtimes, programming languages, and frameworks you use
Monitor the health of every service consistently
- Gain instant visibility into the health of every service and deployment through real-time RED metrics and correlated telemetry
- Improve application reliability and remove silos between teams and technologies by rolling out consistent SLOs across dependent services
- Catch issues when they arise in any service through out-of-the-box visualizations and alerting on all services
Centralize service knowledge with Software Catalog
- Streamline collaboration during incidents by enriching services with relevant owners, runbooks, source code, and on-call contact information
- Drive operational excellence by standardizing monitoring best practices across all engineering teams
- Increase engineering velocity by providing teams visibility into real-time performance and reliability indicators to complete projects and migrations confidently
Extend service monitoring to root cause analyses with the APM suite
- Spot and resolve issues even faster by collecting end-to-end distributed traces and correlating them with the rest of your observability data
- Further empower engineers to quickly pinpoint and address root causes in applications with always-on code profiling and query-level database monitoring
- Improve end-user experience by tying in backend service telemetry with real-user journeys and code-free synthetic tests
