Custom Metrics provide critical visibility into your environment and applications. In this video, we’ll show you how to govern Custom Metrics volumes in Datadog by: Building monitors to proactively catch usage spikes Identifying and attributing your largest cost drivers Reducing costs on less valuable, unused metrics.

Unexpected cloud cost spikes can derail your budget. Datadog’s Cloud Cost Anomalies automatically surfaces unusual spending — whether it’s from a team, account, service, cluster, or region. Quickly identify the source, pivot into Cost Explorer, and take action before costs spiral out of control.

Data sovereignty is crucial for businesses today, driven by government regulations and increasing customer demand for control over their online privacy and information. To better serve our Australian customers, Datadog recently opened our AP2 datacenter in Australia.

Keeping tabs on cloud spending across multiple organizations and vendors, including Datadog, can be tough and costly. If you're not tracking expenses, you're also missing other critical insights. The Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) faced this when moving to Datadog, needing to monitor costs across numerous organizations and over 180 Azure subscriptions. After a rapid migration, new cost reports quickly revealed more than just financial benefits. Unusual spending patterns often highlighted incidents, bugs, or security issues, offering early warnings about internal system problems.

Technology moves quickly and while the spotlight has shifted to dynamic, cloud-based systems, many organizations have legacy applications and infrastructure that they must maintain. In this fireside chat, Datadog’s Matt Moore (Principal Observability Strategist) will host James Flores (Enterprise Systems Engineer) at Australian Community Media to discuss their journey of modernization and bridging legacy systems with the cloud using a bit of ingenuity and observability.
