Datadog acquires CoScreen

At Datadog, we’re dedicated to building a platform that helps teams detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues in their applications and infrastructure. We know that our customers need to be able to debug issues, explore ideas, and manage incidents efficiently, and that means having access to tools that can help them seamlessly share information and leverage the expertise of their distributed teams.

Monitor SAP NetWeaver with Agentil's offering in the Datadog Marketplace

SAP delivers a suite of solutions for managing business operations, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and supply chain management. Many of these solutions, including SAP S/4HANA, run on top of the SAP NetWeaver application development and integration platform. Enterprises and SAP managed providers often operate hundreds or even thousands of SAP NetWeaver systems, and Agentil provides a centralized, low-overhead way to monitor their entire fleet.

Use Datadog's Sourcegraph extension to navigate code and visualize service dependencies

Sourcegraph is a universal code search tool that enables you to easily navigate and understand all of your code, regardless of the number of repositories you have and where they’re hosted. Its built-in code intelligence feature lets you jump to the definition and references of functions and variables, helping you learn new codebases faster.

Introducing Datadog Application Security

Securing modern-day production systems is expensive and complex. Teams often need to implement extensive measures, such as secure coding practices, security testing, periodic vulnerability scans and penetration tests, and protections at the network edge. Even when organizations have the resources to deploy these solutions, they still struggle to keep pace with software teams, especially as they accelerate their release cycles and migrate to distributed systems and microservices.

Monitor mainframe performance with mainstorconcept's offering in the Datadog Marketplace

mainstorconcept’s z/IRIS software provides performance monitoring solutions for IBM mainframe z/OS systems, so you can assess your mainframes’ health and their impact on mission-critical services. With support for OpenTelemetry, z/IRIS creates integrable observability data from your mainframe systems.

Analyze Ruby code performance with Datadog Continuous Profiler

Ruby is an object-oriented programming language celebrated for its simple and easy-to-read syntax. It powers Ruby on Rails, the open source web development framework that streamlines common development tasks involved in building web applications. We’re pleased to announce that our Continuous Profiler, which provides low-overhead, code-level performance insights, is now generally available for Ruby applications.

The PwnKit vulnerability: Overview, detection, and remediation

On January 25, 2022, Qualys announced the discovery of a local privilege escalation vulnerability that it identified as PwnKit. The PwnKit vulnerability affects PolicyKit’s pkexec, a SUID-root program installed by default on many Linux distributions. The same day of the announcement, a proof of concept (PoC) exploit was built and published by the security research community.

Elevate AWS threat detection with Stratus Red Team

A core challenge for threat detection engineering is reproducing common attacker behavior. Several open source and commercial projects exist for traditional endpoint and on-premise security, but there is a clear need for a cloud-native tool built with cloud providers and infrastructure in mind. To meet this growing demand, we’re happy to announce Stratus Red Team, an open source project created to emulate common attack techniques directly in your cloud environment.

Monitor CDN performance within your Synthetic tests

Content delivery networks (CDNs) reduce latency by delivering cached data (e.g., JavaScript files, stylesheets, images, and videos) from a network of linked proxy servers to end users around the globe. CDNs help reduce the load on your origin servers and shorten the distance that data needs to travel, thus improving the end-user experience.

Run Datadog Synthetic tests in your Jenkins pipelines

Continuous integration (CI) has become the mainstream approach to software development as it enables organizations to iterate quickly while minimizing the risk of releasing faulty code. To implement CI, many organizations rely on Jenkins—one of the most mature and widely used automation servers on the market. Jenkins comes with hundreds of community-backed plugins to help you easily integrate it with other tools in your development workflow.
