Overview

Performetriks Composer is a tool that allows you to manage your entire Datadog environment configuration. Composer provides a quick, easy way to document and store your Datadog configuration, as well as find and resolve configuration errors in your Datadog environment.

Composer Use Cases

Backup Datadog configuration

No matter how many Datadog environments you have, Composer allows you to create backups of all your configuration items. You can start a backup ad-hoc or entirely automate a backup from a CI/CD pipeline.

Check in to software configuration management systems

Composer allows you to manage your monitoring configurations as code and check that code into a repository, ensuring that there is a record of all monitoring settings.

Find changes

If several admins manage your Datadog environment, they need to ensure that everyone knows and agrees when any settings are adjusted. Composer simplifies this process by ensuring there is always a backup available, allowing admins to detect the most recent changes.

Restore your configuration

Errors in monitoring configuration can be difficult to spot, but Composer simplifies this process dramatically. Select your most recent Datadog configuration from the created backup and undo your mistakes within seconds.

Upload your configuration

It’s all about monitoring as code these days. Composer allows your team to store monitoring settings in your code repositories, track changes, and upload these settings to existing or new Datadog environments.
