Seonglae ChoPM2 Datadog integration enables seamless monitoring of Node.js applications managed by PM2 through Datadog's comprehensive observability platform. This integration automatically collects and forwards application metrics, logs, and performance data to Datadog for real-time monitoring and analysis.
- Automatic Metrics Collection: Captures essential application metrics including CPU usage, memory consumption, event loop latency, and request throughput without manual instrumentation.
- Process Monitoring: Tracks the status and health of all PM2-managed processes, including restart counts, uptime, and error rates.
- Custom Metrics Support: Allows developers to define and send custom application-specific metrics to Datadog for deeper insights.
- Log Forwarding: Streams application logs directly to Datadog for centralized log management and correlation with metrics.
- Easy Configuration: Provides straightforward setup through PM2 ecosystem configuration with minimal code changes required.
