Welcome to your Datadog free trial

Welcome to Datadog, John!

You now have two weeks of free, unlimited access to Datadog to experience how deep, real-time visibility into your systems can transform the way you and your team find and fix issues.

The first step is collecting your system telemetry by installing the Datadog Agent—you’ll immediately get hundreds of ready-to-use metrics and dashboards on your infrastructure health and performance.

INSTALL THE DATADOG AGENT

Once you've installed the Agent, here are some features to start finding & fixing issues across your stack.

Query and visualize hundreds of metrics

No query language needed. Visualize metrics across your infrastructure, services, and integrations.

This timeseries shows failed checkout attempts by Kubernetes cluster

Find bottlenecks across service dependencies

Identify bottlenecks with real time visualizations of your service dependencies and data flows.

This flow map shows the downstream dependencies of the web-store app, including two services with high traffic & spiking error rates.

Stay ahead of potential issues with monitor alerts

Get notified when systems go down with monitor notifications based on metric thresholds, changes, outliers, and more.

This configured monitor shows that high CPU usage was detected on a specific host multiple times in the past four hours

Root-cause issues with deep, distributed traces

Pinpoint exactly where issues are occurring with end-to-end request flows.

This distributed trace shows that an underlying GET request from ad-server could be the culprit behind this error
