Datadog,
the essential monitoring service for modern cloud applications, today
announced its new integration with Cloud Foundry, an open-source
application platform that provides streamlined application development
and deployment by leveraging cloud-based infrastructure. Cloud Foundry
is widely used within large enterprise organizations as they move to
microservices architectures, continuous delivery methods, and DevOps
practices. Due to Cloud Foundry's central role in application deployment
and operations, monitoring Cloud Foundry's various components is
crucial for maintaining the health and performance of large
applications.
"Cloud
Foundry has become the leading application deployment platform for many
of our enterprise customers that have large-scale, multi-team
environments," said Ilan Rabinovitch, Director of Product Management at
Datadog. "Our latest integration enables Cloud Foundry cluster operators
to automatically monitor the health of their environments."
Datadog's
Cloud Foundry integration works by collecting metrics that determine
cluster health by component and by resource consumption. Metrics can be
collected from critical Cloud Foundry components including BOSH, Cloud
Controller, Loggregator, Gorouter, and Diego. These metrics can then be
visualized so DevOps teams can monitor their performance, identify
patterns and anomalies, and create alerts.
"Pivotal
Cloud Ops has happily used Datadog to monitor Pivotal Web Services, our
Cloud Foundry as a service environment, for some time," said Ian
Andrews, Vice President of Product at Pivotal. "This new integration
gives Datadog and Cloud Foundry users an easy, out of the box
experience."
