Auto Instrumentation

Instrument your application automatically to monitor and measure performance with minimal effort.

Auto instrumentation has become a standard for monitoring, maintaining, and measuring the performance of modern, more complex applications. Instrumenting applications automatically eliminates the need for adding lines of code manually to send trace data, enabling developers to focus on top priority tasks. Auto instrument your Java, Python, Ruby, .Net, Node.js, PHP, and Go applications using Datadog.

Zero-touch auto instrumentation

Auto instrument your application to reduce engineering effort and decrease code cruft.

Avoid human errors and an inconsistent treatment of observability data when instrumenting your application manually
Eliminate the burden of standardizing what to instrument and never accidentally miss critical tracing information with auto instrumentation
Save time on instrumentation and devote your time to building your core product and monitoring its performance

Zero-touch auto instrumentation
