Overview
Datadog’s Internal Developer Platform (IDP) ships with overview pages that surface the information most relevant to each stakeholder:
- Developers get a centralized view of their action items, issues, and team’s service information.
- SREs and engineering managers get a big-picture view of product reliability, service health, scorecard performance, and other key metrics across their teams.
Developer overview page
The developer overview page centralizes the following information about your team and services:
- Your team’s Monitors, Incidents, and SLOs
- Your Jira tickets and GitHub PRs
- Your team’s Services and Scorecard performance
- Your Issues, Errors, and Watchdog alerts
Using the developer overview page
Get started
The widgets displayed on the developer overview page are powered by Datadog App Builder and initially show demo data.
To use the developer overview page with your data, connect your data sources:
Find the developer overview page by selecting the Overview tab in IDP and selecting My Workspace in the left-hand menu.
For each widget:
- Click + Connect Data.
- Create a new connection or select an existing one.
After you save your selection, the widget displays data from your connection. You can change the selected connection by clicking Change Connection in the widget.
Note: Connecting data is a one-time setup task; the selected connections apply for your entire team.
Personalize your view
Provide values for the filters at the top of the page to personalize your view:
- Team: Name of your Datadog Team
- Github_Org: Name of your GitHub Organization
- Github_Team: Name of your GitHub Team
- Github_Username: Your GitHub username
Note: These filters persist when you return to My Workspace.
