Universal Service Monitoring
Universal Service Monitoring is not supported for this site.
Overview
Universal Service Monitoring (USM) provides visibility into your service health metrics universally across your entire stack without having to instrument your code. It relies solely on the presence of a configured Datadog Agent and Unified Service Tagging, and brings performance data about your uninstrumented services into views such as the Service Catalog and Service Map. USM also works with Deployment Tracking, Monitors, Dashboards, and SLOs.
Setup
For information about supported platforms and protocols, and for instructions on getting started, read Setting Up Universal Service Monitoring.
Beta: Additional protocols and encryption methodsUSM has beta support for discovering cloud services and for decoding additional protocols and traffic encryption methods. For more information and to request access to the private beta, read Cloud Service Discovery and Additional Protocols.
Automatic service tagging
Universal Service Monitoring automatically detects services running in your infrastructure. If it does not find unified service tags, it assigns them a name based on one of the tags: app, short_image, kube_container_name, container_name, kube_deployment, kube_service.
To update the service’s name, set up Unified Service Tagging.
Exploring your services
After you configure the Agent, wait about five minutes for your service to appear in the Service Catalog. Click the service to see the service details page. An operation name of universal.http.server or universal.http.client in the upper left indicates that the service telemetry comes from Universal Service Monitoring.
The universal.http.server operation name captures health metrics for inbound traffic to your service. The corresponding universal.http.client operation name represents outbound traffic to other destinations.
After enabling Universal Service Monitoring, you can:
