Common Questions

Can I use the product before I commit to it?

Yes, LLM Observability is already available in your account and it is free to start using. We will reach out to you about pricing once your instrumented LLM apps start submitting meaningful number of LLM requests.

How can I get started?

You need to instrument your LLM application with an SDK for Python or submit spans via an API if your application is written in a different language. If you are using orchestration frameworks like LangChain and popular LLM providers like ChatGPT, the SDK will automatically capture traces. You can view the full list of auto-instrumentation here.

Why is pricing custom?

LLM Observability is a new product so we want to make sure the billing plans meet your needs which is why we are offering custom pricing only at this time. For a detailed explanation of billing, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

Do I need to purchase other Datadog products to use LLM Observability?

No, you can use LLM Observability without purchasing any other Datadog products. If you are already an APM customer or plan on using APM, however, LLM Observability integrates with APM such that you have better end-to-end visibility of your entire application. Generally, having all your monitoring and security alerts and insights in one place is something we encourage for comprehensive visibility.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SUPPORT PLANS

Common Questions

How do you define a host?

A host is any physical or virtual OS instance that you monitor with Datadog. It could be a server, VM, node (in the case of Kubernetes) or App Service Plan instance (in the case of Azure App Services).

How do I monitor containers?

The Datadog Agent runs in a container alongside any number of other containers on a host. From there it can collect metrics from its neighboring containers and from the host itself. Depending on your plan, you can monitor 5 or 10 containers free for each host license. Additional containers will be billed at $0.002 per container per hour. In addition, you can purchase prepaid containers at $1 per container per month.

What is a custom metric?

Datadog was designed to allow you to monitor your own custom applications and business metrics—not just your infrastructure. You can send any and all of your organization’s important metrics to Datadog for graphing, alerting, correlation, anomaly detection and more. Example uses: monitoring ad revenue, the rate at which shopping carts are abandoned, or the health of an in-game economy. Many customers find these metrics invaluable, especially when combined with infrastructure metrics.

How many custom metrics are allotted per host?

Datadog offers 100 custom metrics for every host monitored with Infrastructure Pro, or 200 custom metrics for every host monitored with Infrastructure Enterprise.

How do I get charged for additional custom metrics?

Beyond the volume of custom metrics allotted per host, Datadog charges as low as $1 per 100 custom metrics per month. or reach out to your Sales or Customer Success rep for more details.

How does Datadog count and meter custom metrics?

Custom metrics are counted hourly and averaged monthly across your entire account, not on a per-host basis. For more details around Custom Metrics metering, please see our Custom Metrics Billing FAQ.

What is a custom event?

Datadog allows you to send custom events coming from your own custom applications such as custom-built deployment tools or scheduled maintenance jobs. This way, you can correlate any of these events with performance metrics, create monitors for alerting and enrich events at intake with processing pipelines to be queried alongside other standard events.

How many events are allotted per host?

Datadog offers 500 custom events for every host monitored with infrastructure monitoring for pro plan, or 1000 for enterprise plan. Custom events are averaged across your entire account, not just on a per-host basis. Beyond this limit, Datadog charges $2 for 100 000 custom events (billed annually or $3 on-demand), although it is rare for our customers to exceed the allotted volume.

How can I send custom metrics and events?

You can send Datadog custom metrics and events in three ways

The Datadog Agent ships with DogStatsD so you can submit custom metrics via the Agent's non-blocking API functions for many programming languages.
The Datadog Agent allows for the creation of custom integrations via plugins to the Agent. This plugin system allows the Agent to collect custom metrics on your behalf. Integrations which are contributed back to the Datadog Agent convert to standard metrics.
Datadog also has a full-featured API that you can send your metrics to—either directly over HTTP or with a language-specific library.

What compliance frameworks does DevSecOps support?

DevSecOps Pro and Enterprise allow you to track conformance to requirements of over 15 industry benchmarks including CIS, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and more.

How can I be sure my data is secure?

Security is our top priority. This includes, universal HTTPS, strong TLS configuration, and HTTP Strict Transport Security. Our Agent is open-source, which means it can be reviewed to ensure it meets your security requirements.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ

Do you have special offerings for partners?

We’re always looking to partner with technology and service providers and resellers. See our Partners page for more.

How do you define an IoT device?

An IoT device is a nonstandard compute device deployed outside of an on-premise or cloud data center which transmits data over a network. Examples of IoT devices include the Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson. You can monitor IoT devices in Datadog with the Datadog IoT Agent.

Can I buy the DevSecOps SKU for some of my hosts and standalone Infrastructure or Cloud Security Management SKUs for the remainder?

You cannot combine the DevSecOps SKU with standalone Infrastructure or Cloud Security Management SKUs.

Common Questions

What counts as a billable APM host?

A billable APM host is a host that is actively generating traces that are submitted to the Datadog SaaS application, including, but not limited to, an OpenTelemetry Collector. This means that hosts running services that are not instrumented (e.g. databases, caches, queues and load-balancers) and are not generating traces submitted to the Datadog platform do not count as APM hosts even if APM is enabled on them.

What kind of billing plan do I need to run APM, APM Pro, or APM Enterprise?

Every billable APM, APM Pro, or APM Enterprise host requires the purchase of Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring.

Is Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring required on every APM Host?

Yes. For example, if you subscribe for 10 APM hosts, those hosts must also be subscribed for 10 Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure hosts. This applies to both committed and non-committed host usage in all APM tiers.

I am an existing APM customer. Can I switch to the APM Pro or APM Enterprise?

Yes. Existing APM customers have the option of changing their plan to APM Pro or APM Enterprise. Contact your Sales or Customer Success rep for help.

Can I purchase a mix of APM, APM Pro, and APM Enterprise hosts?

No. Customers can commit to only one of the plans across all their APM hosts, not a combination thereof.

Does a purchase of APM host include Universal Service Monitoring (USM) on that same host?

Yes. USM is included on the same host APM is purchased on, regardless of the APM tier. This means that Datadog will always discover, map, and monitor every new and/or non-instrumented service running on your APM hosts, automatically.

If I’m an existing USM customer and start using APM on the same host, will I be charged for both products?

No. If both USM and APM are purchased and/or installed on the same host, you will only pay the APM price on the host, based on your APM tier.

What languages does APM support?

Java, Python, Ruby, Go, Node, .NET and PHP. You can find the full list of supported languages and libraries in our documentation.

Can I add custom instrumentation on top of Datadog’s out-of-the-box instrumentation?

Yes. We provide auto-instrumentation for popular libraries and frameworks, but you can easily add custom instrumentation if desired.

Can I run APM with containers?

Yes, you can run APM in a containerized environment. The number of containers running on each host (node) does not impact the APM host-based price. AWS Fargate is also supported.

Does APM support Serverless computing?

Yes. We support AWS Fargate tasks. Based on your APM plan, the price is $2/$2/$2.60 per task when billed annually and $2.90/$2.90/$3.70 when billed on-demand. APM also supports AWS Lambda (see pricing info here).

What is the difference between ingestion and retention?

Ingestion means sending your traces to Datadog and having all of them available for Live Search and Analytics for 15 minutes. Retention means storing your most important traces (e.g. error, high latency, or business-critical ones) and making them available for search and analysis during a retention period of your choice (15 days by default).

Can I ingest additional spans?

Yes. While we include 150GB per APM host by default for Ingested Spans, you can always ingest additional traces and spans for 15-minute live trace search and analytics at $0.10/GB.

Note: The allotted 150GB per host is summed over all the APM hosts. For example, if in a given month you have 2 APM hosts and one ingests 250GBs and the other 50GBs (300GB in total), you will not be billed for ingestion that month.

Can I retain (index) additional spans and modify the retention period?

Yes. While we include 1 million Indexed Spans per APM host with 15-day retention by default, you can always retain additional spans.

For additional Indexed Spans, we offer the following retention periods:

7-day retention at $1.27 per million spans per month (billed annually or $1.91 on-demand)
15-day retention at $1.70 per million spans per month (billed annually or $2.55 on-demand)
30-day retention at $2.50 per million spans per month (billed annually or or $3.75 on-demand)

If you need longer retention, please reach out to your Customer Success or Sales rep to customize your plan.

Note 1: The allotted 1 million Indexed Spans per host is summed across all your APM hosts. For example, if in a given month you have 2 APM hosts and you index 1.5 million spans from one and 0.5 million from the other (2 million in total), you will not be billed for indexing that month.

Note 2: Indexed Spans that are auto-retained by Datadog do not count towards the 1 million Indexed Spans that are allotted per host.

How does on-demand billing of ingested and indexed spans differ from my committed plan?

On-demand use of APM is counted on an hourly basis. Both ingested and indexed span allotment are metered each hour and are not aggregated across all use throughout the month.

This means that ingested and indexed span use that goes over the associated APM Host allotment in the same hour will increase billing regardless of span use during other times.

What are the hourly span allotments and on-demand pricing?

For every host hour, customers get an hourly allotment corresponding to a share of the monthly allotment (150 GB for ingested spans and 1M indexed) split evenly by hour by month in the current year. For example, in January, for every host hour, customers get an allotment of 0.205 GB (150 GB / (365 * 24 / 12)) for ingested spans and 1369 indexed spans (1 M / (365 * 24 / 12)).

For additional volume, in a given hour, customers will be charged $0.10 per additional GB of ingested spans and the indexed spans rate for every additional 1M indexed spans.

Do I have to ingest and/or retain 100% of my traces?

With an intuitive user interface, you can decide what to send to Datadog as well as which traces to retain and for how long. This way, customers get full control over their tracing data and their network-bandwidth-related costs.

Does trace sampling impact the accuracy of RED metrics?

No, the listed APM price includes RED metrics (requests, errors, duration). Regardless of any sampling rate (default or custom), RED metrics are always calculated based on 100% of application traffic.

How are span-based metrics billed?

Span-based metrics are counted towards your Custom Metrics allocation as outlined in your infrastructure plan.

Can I run APM on web apps with Azure App Services (PaaS)?

Yes, the Datadog extension for Azure App Services provides additional monitoring capabilities for Azure Web Apps, including full support for distributed tracing using automatic instrumentation, manual APM instrumentation to customize spans, Trace_ID injection into application logs, and submitting custom metrics using DogStatsD. Learn more with our documentation.

What is considered as a host for Azure App Services?

All Azure App Service Plan instances will count as Infrastructure hosts. In addition, if they are running the Datadog extension and submitting APM traces from a Web App, all instances in the underlying ASP will be counted as APM hosts.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

What is Data Streams Monitoring and how does it work?: Datadog Data Streams Monitoring (DSM) allows you to track and improve the performance of event-driven applications that use Kafka and RabbitMQ. DSM automatically maps dependencies between all services and queues, measures latency between them, and provides additional health metrics, such as consumer lag, across your streaming data pipeline to help you monitor it end to end.
What counts as a billable DSM host?: A billable Data Streams Monitoring host is a host that has the Datadog Agent installed and producer and consumer services that are running on it and instrumented for DSM. Visit our documentation for additional setup information.
What kind of billing plan do I need to run Data Streams Monitoring?: Every billable DSM host requires the purchase of Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring, regardless if it is combined with APM. Annual, month-to-month, and on-demand billing plans are available. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.
Can I purchase Data Streams Monitoring not as part of an APM plan?: Yes, Data Streams Monitoring can be purchased on top of Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring hosts starting at $15 per host per month with an annual commitment.
Can I purchase APM Pro for a portion of my hosts and individual standalone products for the rest of my hosts?: No. Customers can commit to only one of the plans across all their APM hosts, not a combination thereof. That said, APM-only customers can purchase Data Streams Monitoring and/or Continuous Profiler on a portion of their hosts, and APM Pro customers can purchase Continuous Profiler on a portion of their hosts.
What Technologies do you support?: DSM currently supports Java, Go, .NET/C# for Kafka and Java and Go for RabbitMQ. Support for additional technologies and programming languages is coming soon.
How long is DSM data retained for?: Map history is stored for 30 days and all metrics are retained for 15 months.

What is Continuous Profiler?: Continuous Profiler is a tool to observe and analyze code-level performance in your production environment at all times with minimal overhead. It allows developers to identify and optimize the most resource-consuming methods in their code. We provide comprehensive documentation and encourage you to take a read.
What counts as a billable Continuous Profiler host?: A billable Continuous Profiler host is a host that has profiling installed and enabled according to Datadog’s runtime-specific setup instructions (example) and submits profiles to the Datadog SaaS application.
What kind of billing plan do I need to run APM Enterprise?: Every billable Continuous Profiler host requires the purchase of Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring, regardless if it is combined with APM. The price includes 4 containers running profiled applications per host, summed across all Profiled hosts. Every additional container costs $2. Annual, month-to-month, and on-demand billing plans are available. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.
I am an existing Continuous Profiler customer. Can I switch to the APM Enterprise plan?: Yes. Existing Continuous Profiler customers have the option of changing their plan to APM Enterprise starting at $40 per host per month. Contact your Sales or Customer Success rep for help.'
Can I purchase Continuous Profiler standalone?: Yes, Continuous Profiler can be purchased standalone at $19 per profiled host per month with an annual commitment. Month-to-month and on-demand plans are also available at $23 per profiled host per month or $0.004 per hour. Contact us or reach out to your Sales or Customer Success rep for more details.
Can I purchase APM Enterprise for a portion of my hosts and individual standalone products for the rest of my hosts?: No. Customers can commit to only one of the plans across all their APM hosts, not a combination thereof. That said, APM-only customers can purchase Continuous Profiler and/or Data Streams Monitoring on a portion of their hosts, and APM Pro customers can purchase Continuous Profiler on a portion of their hosts.
How do you define a profiled host?: A profiled host is a physical or virtual operating system instance which is running a profiled application. To be profiled, the host would need to have the agent installed and profiling enabled. When combined with APM, every APM host is also a profiler host, and vice versa. The same logic applies to profiled containers. For more information visit our Billing FAQ.
Which languages does Continuous Profiler support?: Continuous Profiler supports Java, .NET, Go, Python, Ruby, .Node.js, and PHP. Support for C, C++, and Rust is in beta.
How does Datadog Continuous Profiler work?: Our profilers constantly collect representative samples of all stack traces, aggregate them over a 60-second time period and forwards them through the Datadog agent. This is done continuously in one-minute intervals which means you will never lose code-level visibility in your services. To profile your services, simply import our profiling library or enable an environment variable flag when you run the APM tracer.
How do you ensure minimal performance impact in production?: We use the latest, most cutting-edge technologies, such as the JDK Flight Recorder, to ensure that performance impact is minimal even with full production workloads. Additionally, our profilers do not interrupt or interfere with any of your service requests hence we introduce no additional request latency.
How is profiling different from tracing?: Tracing measures latency of requests across services in distributed systems, whereas profiling provides deeper insights on all that happened on the code level of the services.
What are the benefits of Datadog Continuous Profiler?: Continuous Profiler is tightly integrated with the rest of the Datadog platform and it extends our seamless correlations between metrics, traces, and logs to the code level. This is extremely useful for code performance optimization, cost savings on cloud provider bills, and reducing request latency for improved user experience.
What types of profiles are available?: CPU, Memory, Lock, Wall Time, Disk IO, Socket IO, Goroutines, Exceptions and many more profile types are available and may vary by programming language. For more information visit our documentation page.
Are there other billing options?: Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Is open source vulnerability detection a standalone offering?: Without the DevSecOps bundle, our open source vulnerability detection capabilities can be bought with Datadog Software Composition Analysis (SCA).
How do our open source vulnerability detection capabilities work with our DevSecOps bundle?: When an APM-instrumented service starts, the tracer collects the list of libraries that the application is actively loading in production and reports the list of vulnerabilities associated to those libraries and versions
What counts as a billable APM DevSecOps host?: An APM DevSecOps host is an APM host on which our runtime open source vulnerability detection is enabled.
What languages are supported by our open source vulnerability detection capabilities?: Java, .NET, Node.JS, Python
Is it possible to only activate open source vulnerability detection on some of my hosts?: No, with APM DevSecOps, you must have runtime open source vulnerability detection on all APM hosts.
Is this available in all regions?: Yes
Do you have special offerings for partners?: We’re always looking to partner with technology and service providers and resellers. See our Partners page for more.

Common Questions

Definitions

How do you define retention?

The retention period is the number of days your logs are searchable and analyzable. After this period, logs disappear from your index(es).

Logs removed from your index(es) do not have to be gone forever! Check out our Log Archives for long-term storage options.

I know my consumption in GB/day: how do I convert it into millions of log events?

Log events come in all shapes and sizes, which is precisely why we offer event-based pricing! We want to encourage rich logs to provide the most value.

The best way to get the number of log events during your Datadog trial is to run a count query over the last 24 hours and multiply by 30 days to estimate for the month. This can, of course, also be done in your current log management solution, if you have one.

What do the different compute sizes in Flex Logs mean? Which one is appropriate for me?

Compute is the querying capacity to run queries for Flex Logs. The compute size appropriate for you depends on the volume of data stored in the Flex Tier, the time window and complexity of your queries, and concurrency. For guidance on which compute size you should choose, see our documentation.

Supported Today

Having all your infrastructure, APM, and log data under one roof is something we definitely encourage, but you can also subscribe only to Datadog’s Log Management. Learn how to configure only log collection here.

What retentions are available for on-demand customers?

For on-demand customers, the default retention is 15 days. If you have already created a Datadog account and would like to use a different retention, you can request a different retention at support@datadoghq.com

Do I have to choose only one type of retention between Standard Indexing and Flex Logs?

Your indexes can have Standard Tier retention only, Flex Tier retention only, or a combination of Standard and Flex Tier.

What is the difference between Standard Indexing and Flex Logs?

Flex Logs does not support monitors, dashboards, or Watchdog Insights. Standard Indexing supports everything.

What happens if I send an unexpectedly high volume of logs?

By committing to a monthly volume of logs, you aren’t rate-limited based on a single day’s volume. Send as much as you need on any given day without losing visibility. Assuming your average is lower on other days, your bill is unaffected.

In those cases where you have a big month, not to worry! You maintain complete visibility and pay for additional services (+50% of the annual price) only on the volume that exceeds your commitment.

Can I forward logs from one Datadog account to another?

This is currently not supported.

Best Practices

How can I manage my highly dynamic log volume in a cost-effective way without losing visibility?

We’ve designed our Log Management offer knowing from day 1 that managing large and fluctuating log volumes is a common problem. We have various innovative solutions for this, which you can learn more about from our dedicated article here.

When should I store logs in Standard Indexing vs Flex Logs?

Log events can be stored in Standard Indexing when you need them for real-time troubleshooting and in Flex Logs for ad-hoc, historical analysis and long term troubleshooting. See our documentation to learn more.

Billing

How are Flex Logs billed?

Flex Logs are metered on an hourly basis per million events stored. Each million events stored is billed for a minimum of 30 days, or a minimum of $0.05. For example, if one million logs are retained for 60 days, this will be charged for every 30 days that they are stored.

Is forwarding to S3 Archives, GCP Storage, and Azure Storage being billed?

No. Forwarding to S3 Archives, GCP Storage, and Azure Storage is included with $0.10 per ingested GB. However, forwarding to other destinations such as your external SIEM or BI vendor is billable starting at $0.25 per GB outbound per destination.

How is Rehydration billed?

When you rehydrate logs, Datadog scans the compressed logs in your archive for the time period you requested, and then indexes only log events that match your rehydration query. Datadog charges $0.10 per compressed GB of log data that is scanned. For any log events indexed from a rehydration, the cost is equal to your contracted indexing rates for the retention period selected for the rehydration.

How are log-based metrics billed?

Log-based metrics count towards your Custom Metrics allocation as outlined in your infrastructure plan.

Are there other billing options?

Annual and monthly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Security and Compliance

How can I be sure my data is secure?

Security is our top priority. This includes, TCP/SSL Strict Transport Security, agent-level scrubbing and SOC 2 compliance. Our Agent is open-source, which means it can be reviewed to ensure it meets your security requirements.

Common Questions

How is a session defined?

A session is a user journey on your web application. It expires after 15 minutes of inactivity and lasts up to 4 hours. For a detailed explanation of user sessions, please see our docs.

What data does Datadog’s RUM collect?

We collect events across browser and mobile applications on various platforms. Our SDKs collect events automatically or can be instrumented to capture custom events. For mobile platforms supported, please refer to our Mobile RUM documentation. We capture the following events: page views, buttons clicked called actions, network requests called resources, and long tasks. For each event captured, we capture attributes that provide information about the event. Refer to our Browser RUM and Android, iOS, React Native, and Flutter RUM documentation

How does Session Replay work?

Session Replay works on web applications running on desktop browsers or mobile browsers. It captures changes in the web page code, called DOM and DOM-mutations, to recreate a user’s experience in real-time in the browser.

What Mobile languages do you support instrumentation for?

We currently support Android (Java and Kotlin), iOS (Swift and Objective-C), and React Native, Flutter

Can I view logs from my browser or mobile app in RUM?

Yes, these logs are automatically tied to the corresponding RUM session, making it easy to monitor when they happen during the user journey.

How can I begin setting up for RUM?

Setup steps can be found in our docs: Browser, Session Replay, Mobile.

Can I purchase more than one software delivery plan for my team?

Yes, customers can purchase a combination of software delivery plans. For example, for a team of 10, you can have 10 committers billed for CI Visibility and 5 committers billed for Test Optimization.

How do you define a span?

Every individual test run is considered a span in Test Optimization.

How many spans are allotted?

1,000,000 spans per committer per month or 1,370 spans per committer per hour (both summed across all Test Optimization committers). Additional test spans can be purchased at $3 per million spans per month.

What is the span retention period?

Test spans are retained for 3 months.

Can I modify the span retention period?

No, the span retention period cannot be modified.

What CI providers does Test Optimization support?

Test Optimization is compatible with any CI provider(not limited to those supported by CI Visibility).

What languages does Test Optimization support for tests?

Test Optimization directly supports .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Swift, and Ruby. Other languages and test frameworks are supported by using JUnit xml.

How does Test Impact Analysis identify which tests to skip?

Common Questions

What is Universal Service Monitoring (USM) and how does it work?

Universal Service Monitoring (USM) uses the revolutionary eBPF technology (kernel-level) to provide request, error, and latency metrics for the entire fleet of services in seconds, with no code changes and regardless of programming language. To learn more please read our documentation and blog.

What kind of billing plan do I need to run USM?

Datadog USM must be purchased in addition to Infrastructure Monitoring. One option is to purchase USM for all Infrastructure Monitoring hosts on your plan (starting at $9 per host per month).

Can I purchase USM for a subset of my Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure hosts?

Yes. If you would like to set up USM on a subset of your Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure hosts, you would need to purchase APM. Every purchase of an APM host now includes USM on that host at no additional cost, starting at $31 per host per month.

I am an existing Infrastructure Monitoring customer. Can I add USM to my plan?

Yes. Existing Infrastructure Monitoring customers can add USM to all their Pro or Enterprise hosts for an additional $9 per host per month (starting price with an annual commitment). Reach out to your Customer Success Manager for further details.

What types of Infrastructure does USM support?

USM currently supports containerized environments and non-containerized environments. For more information please visit our documentation.

Does USM support serverless technologies?

Serverless technologies such as ECS Fargate, EKS Fargate, and AWS Lambda are not currently supported.

What operating systems does USM support?

USM currently supports most Linux (4.14+) or CentOS/RHEL (8.0+) environments and Windows IIS-based services (Windows 2012 R2+). For more information please visit our documentation.

Which programming languages and network protocols does USM support?

USM is programming language-agnostic and currently supports containerized applications that communicate using HTTP and HTTPS (OpenSSL and GnuTLS are supported). For more information please visit our documentation.

What is the difference between USM and Datadog APM?

USM automatically discovers, maps, and catalogs your 1st- and 3rd-party services without requiring any redeployment and regardless of programming language. This allows you to gain instant visibility into their health metrics and dependencies, and quickly detect issues anywhere in your application. Datadog APM allows you to easily troubleshoot issues with distributed traces and code profiles that provide request- and code-level visibility for fast root-cause analysis and resolution.

Can I purchase USM and APM on the same host?

Yes. You can set up USM on all your Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure hosts and set up APM and distributed tracing on all or a subset of these hosts. This applies to both existing and new Datadog APM customers.

How does billing work if I purchase USM and APM on the same host?

If both USM and APM are purchased and/or installed on the same host, you will only pay the APM price, based on your APM plan.

Are there other billing options?

Annual, monthly, and hourly plans are available in combination with Infrastructure Monitoring. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ or reach out to your account manager.

Common Questions

Is ASM a standalone offering? Can SCA and ASM (Threat Management) be sold separately?

ASM (Threat Management) and SCA can be sold separately, but both offerings require Datadog APM.

How does Application Security Management work?

ASM leverages Datadog libraries to detect vulnerabilities and threats on your applications. The library collects telemetry on the third-party libraries running within your web-applications and embeds an in-app WAF to detect and block attacks based on configurable rules. Please refer to the documentation to learn more.

What counts as a billable Application Security Management host?

Similar to APM, a billable ASM host is a host on which ASM is enabled and that is actively submitting spans to the Datadog SaaS application.

A seat is required to be an active responder in an incident. Anyone without a seat can view incidents and join incident channels without a license.

Do users get double charged if they are in more than one org?

No, we charge based on unique seats across the organizations where users have accounts.

Is there a limit on the number of incidents that a user or org can create?

No. All users have access to create unlimited incidents, postmortems, and integrations.

What external tools does Datadog’s Incident Management integrate with?

Native integrations are available for Slack, MS Teams, Jira, ServiceNow, Zoom, and Status Page. Check out our Docs for more information.

Does Datadog have an on-call and paging solution?

Yes. Datadog On-Call provides a modern experience with observability-enriched paging to unify monitoring, paging, and incident remediation into a single platform.

Can I use Datadog Incident Management without using other Datadog products?

Datadog Incident Management can be used as a standalone incident management solution for your team, or as a central hub in-app to consolidate the tools and processes you already use.

Common Questions

How do you define a host?: A host is any physical or virtual machine that has the Datadog agent installed with Network Performance Monitoring enabled.
How do you define an NPM flow?: A flow is a record of traffic sent and received between a source (IP:Port) and destination (IP:Port) over a five minute time period. In some cases, similar destinations are grouped into a single flow to reduce the total flow count.
How many NPM flows are allotted per host?: Datadog offers an allotment of 6 million NPM flows for every host monitored with network monitoring. NPM flows are averaged across your entire account, not just on a per-host basis.
Does Network Performance Monitoring work with containers?: Yes, Datadog Network Performance Monitoring is designed to work in containerized and highly dynamic environments. User-defined tags allow you to slice and dice network flows by almost anything, including containers, clusters, pods, and deployments.
Do I need to purchase other Datadog products to use NPM or NDM?: Having all your infrastructure, traces, logs, and network information under one roof is something we encourage for comprehensive visibility, however, it is not required. Network Performance Monitoring requires the purchase of an Infrastructure Pro or Enterprise plan for every host that NPM is monitoring. Network Device Monitoring only requires the purchase of one or more infrastructure hosts which are used to poll devices.

How do you define a device?: A device is a physical or virtual appliance with a unique IP address that is polled using SNMP.
How are SNMP Traps billed?: Datadog is not currently billing customers for traps.
How do you define a NetFlow record?: NetFlow is a network protocol created by Cisco that describes the flow of traffic across network devices. We support all NetFlow versions, including jFlow, sFlow, IPFIX or standard NetFlow v5 or v9. The Datadog agent aggregates raw NetFlow data overtime to send on a regular basis (the default being 5 mins, this can be customized).
What are retention options for NetFlow Monitoring?: We offer 15, 30, 60, and 90 day retention for NetFlow records with the default retention being 30 days. Please contact us for additional retention durations and inquires about pricing.

Common Questions

What’s the difference between API Tests and Browser Tests?

API Tests monitor single endpoints or URLs, whereas Browser Tests monitor web business transactions or web user journeys that may involve several actions and pages. Multistep API tests are also available to chain several API requests together.

Are you able to alert on Synthetic monitors?

Yes, alerts are built in and triggered automatically when your tests fail. Datadog also integrates with your favorite collaboration/communication tools such as Slack, Pagerduty, ServiceNow, and more.

Can I view endpoint requests end-to-end?

Yes, with the out-of-the-box APM integration, you are able to tie back any synthetic tests to their corresponding back-end, code-level insights for minimal mean time to resolution.

Is there any extra charge for using private locations?

No. There are no additional costs to set up a private location. All test runs to a private location are billed just as they are to a managed location.

What counts as an API test run?

HTTP, SSL, DNS, TCP, and ICMP all fall under API test billing. Each hit being made on your endpoint counts as a single test run. If a test is set to run from 3 locations every minute, the test will count as 180 test runs in an hour.

For multistep API tests, each step counts as an individual API test.

What counts as a browser test run?

Each simulation of a full transaction (25 steps) counts as a single test run. A single test containing 50 steps counts as 2 test runs on each execution. So, running a 51 step test (counting as 3 test runs) every 15 minutes from 5 different locations and 2 different devices means the test will count as 120 test runs in an hour.

How do browser test subtests participate in Synthetics billing?

Subtests are treated just as any other step in the browser test. Therefore, we bill a subtest as part of the overall test execution. So if a user sets up a browser test with 3 subtests, that each have 5 steps nested, that would amount to a total of 15 steps.

Is there any extra charge for enabling Synthetic RUM data collection on Browser Tests?

No. Synthetic RUM data collection comes free of charge with Synthetic Testing and Monitoring.

How is Mobile App Testing billed?: Similar to API and Browser Synthetic Testing, Mobile App Testing is billed per test run.
Is there a limit of the number of steps in a test run?: No. However Mobile App Testing does group test steps into buckets with each set of 25 steps counted as an individual test run. For example, tests with 1-25 steps will count as 1 run, tests with 25-50 will count as 2 runs, tests with 51-75 will count as 3 runs and so on.
How are test runs calculated in Mobile App Testing?: To calculate test runs take the number of buckets (sets of 25 steps) you have in your test and multiply this by the number of devices you have selected for your test. For example, if you have a test with 26 steps and 2 devices selected this will count as 4 test runs (2 sets of 25 steps * 2 devices) and if you run this test on an hourly basis this will come out to 96 test runs per day (2 sets of 25 steps * 2 devices * 24 hours).
Does Mobile App Testing use real devices or emulators / virtual devices?: Mobile App Testing uses real devices, i.e. physical phones and tablets which are connected via the cloud, to provide the most realistic testing possible. With real devices we can more accurately represent the hardware, software and network conditions your actual users will face.
How does Mobile App Testing on real devices work?: We have a fleet of real devices maintained in our managed cloud infrastructure. Once you select your preferred device (iOS or Android) to test your app with, Datadog MAT connects with that real device over cloud and sets the app for the test.
What devices does Mobile App Testing support?: MAT supports the most popular devices (smartphones and tablets) across Android and iOS, including the iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and more, and we are constantly increasing support for new devices and OS versions as they become available.
What data center is Mobile App Testing available in?: Datadog Mobile App Testing is currently available to all US1, US5, and EU1 customers. All app tests will be run from the AWS US West region.
How can I begin setup for Mobile App Testing?: To begin testing with MAT: (1) Upload the app you would like to test to the platform, (2) Select Mobile Application Test from the modal New Test under UX Monitoring or on the Synthetics home page, (3) Select the devices you would like to test with, (4) Record your test case and (5) execute your test! You can read more about how to configure your tests here.
Can I run tests in parallel with Mobile App Testing?: Yes. By default, tests executed through the API / CI are executed sequentially however if you would like to run your tests in parallel for faster execution you can purchase additional concurrency slots with our Continuous Testing SKU. Learn more about Continuous Testing here.
Can I set up alerts on Mobile App Testing monitors?: Yes, alerts are built in and triggered automatically when your tests fail. Datadog also integrates with your favorite collaboration/communication tools such as Slack, Pagerduty, ServiceNow, and more.
Does Mobile App Testing support testing progressive web apps?: No. Datadog Mobile App Testing only tests native Android and iOS apps. If you would like to test your progressive web app, you can use Datadog’s Browser Testing product which allows you to test both desktop and mobile websites. Learn more about Browser Testing here.
What are “Self-maintaining Tests” and how do they work?: The self-maintaining test capability uses an AI-driven multi-locator algorithm to detect UI changes in the app and automatically updates your tests. This reduces alert fatigue and makes test maintenance easy.
Does Mobile App Testing currently provide end-to-end visibility with APM and RUM?: Mobile App Testing currently integrates with RUM, similar to Browser Testing, allowing you to correlate synthetic tests with real-user data and insights. At this time, Mobile App Testing does not directly link with APM to provide out-of-the-box backend traces (traces are still available but requires you to manually correspond with your tests).
How do mobile app test subtests participate in Synthetics billing?: Subtests are treated just as any other step in the mobile app test. Therefore, we bill a subtest as part of the overall test execution. So if a user sets up a mobile app test with 3 subtests, that each have 5 steps nested, that would amount to a total of 15 steps.
Are there other billing options available?: Annual, monthly and hourly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

What is Continuous Testing?

Datadog Continuous Testing is a comprehensive toolkit in the development cycle that offers integration and end-to-end testing with codeless test setup, self-healing capability, and seamless integration with CI providers (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, GitLab, and Jenkins) and collaboration tools to help you ship high-quality features to your users quickly.

Running tests in your CI/CD pipelines today is included with your API and Browser Testing test runs, and tests will run sequentially (one after another). If you would like to increase the speed of testing in your CI/CD pipelines, you can purchase additional Parallel Testing speed (parallelization), which makes some tests run at the same time.

For example, 1 Parallel Testing additional speed offers an additional parallel slot, allowing you to run 2 tests in parallel; 2 Parallel Testing additional speed offers 2 additional parallel slots, allowing you to run 3 tests in parallel; and so on. This helps you run more tests in parallel (at the same time), and reduce the overall execution speed of your test suite.

Am I limited to a certain number of test runs based on my additional parallelization?

No. With Parallel Testing, you can run as many tests as you need in your CI/CD pipelines. Parallelization ensures you can run more of those tests at the same time, and ultimately reduce the duration of testing in your CI/CD pipelines.

For example, if you want to run 100 tests in a CI pipeline and each test takes 10 seconds to run:

WITHOUT parallelization, your tests will run sequentially and your pipeline will take roughly 17 minutes to complete.
WITH parallelization, if you purchase (for example) an additional speed of 4 Parallel Testing, your 100 tests will run over a total of 5 parallel slots, and your pipeline will now take roughly 3 minutes to complete.

Note: In both cases, your 100 test runs will contribute to your API or Browser Testing test run quotas.

Can I reuse my Synthetic tests that I use to monitor my production environments?

Yes. With Parallel Testing, you can use the same Synthetic tests you have configured for production monitoring across all of your staging, QA, and pre-production environments. Through variable overrides and custom configuration values, you can benefit from one test throughout your entire software development lifecycle.

What are parallel tests?

Parallel tests are tests that run simultaneously in your continuous integration and delivery pipelines to ensure that you can:

Reduce pipeline duration and ship new features faster
Increase development confidence and speed of delivery
Have complete test coverage and reduce the volume of production-breaking bugs from reaching your codebase

As an example, if you needed to run 60 tests and each test took one minute to run, it would take you one hour to run those tests sequentially. However, running those tests in parallel with a parallelization value of 60, you could run all your tests at the same time and within one minute, saving you 59 minutes to tackle other business-critical tasks. That's the power of Parallel Testing.

Can I see the full trace of a test if I also use Datadog APM?

Yes! If you instrument your services with APM, you will have a complete 360-degree visibility into your applications and services—from your frontend user experience right through to your backend trace. Find more information here.

What counts as a browser test run?

Each simulation of a web transaction (up to 25 steps) counts as a single browser test run. A single test containing 50 steps would count as two test runs on each execution. For example, running a 60-step test (three test runs) every 15 minutes from five different locations and two different devices equates to 120 test runs in one hour.

How do subtests count toward billing?

Subtests are simply a set of steps within a browser test. Therefore, we count a subtest as part of the overall browser test execution. For example, if you set up a browser test with only three subtests and each subtest had five steps, that would amount to a total of 15 steps, or one browser test run.

Support Plans

From basic plans to bespoke offerings, Datadog offers the right level of support for any organization.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SUPPORT PLANS

Common Questions

How do you define an active function?: Datadog bills based on the average number of functions per hour across the month for your accounts. Every hour, Datadog records the number of functions that were executed one or more times and monitored by your Datadog account. At the end of the month, Datadog charges by calculating the average of the hourly number of functions recorded. For example, if you invoked a function only once during a month, your bill will be 1 function / 720 hours * $5.
How do you define a traced invocation?: Datadog creates a top-level Lambda span for every Lambda invocation that is traced. Your bill is based on the sum of AWS Lambda invocations connected to an ingested APM trace in a given month. You will also be billed for the total number of indexed spans submitted to the Datadog APM service exceeding the bundled quantity at the end of the month.
Can I control how many invocations are traced?: Yes, Datadog allows you to control the percentage of Lambda function invocations that generate APM data.
Can Serverless APM be purchased without Serverless Workload Monitoring?: No, Serverless APM is an optional add-on for serverless functions sending metrics to Datadog via Serverless Workload Monitoring.
What is allotted with Serverless APM?: Span Ingestion: 50GB Ingested Spans per 1M traced invocations; then $0.10/GB. Span Retention: 300 thousand Indexed Spans per 1M traced invocations; then $1.70 per 1 million Indexed Spans with 15-day retention (billed annually or $2.55 on-demand). See APM common questions for additional retention periods.
What AWS Lambda runtimes do you support?: Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, Java, and .NET
Can I monitor other AWS services used alongside my Lambda functions?: Yes, Datadog has an easy to set up AWS integration which immediately pulls in metrics and more from 85+ AWS services, including Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS AppSync, Amazon SQS, Amazon Kinesis, and AWS Step Functions.
What security capabilities are available for AWS Lambda?: Datadog allows you to detect meaningful threats on your applications running on AWS Lambda, and block attacks in your AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) using Workflow Automation. Learn more about application security with our documentation.

How do you define an active AWS Step Function?: Datadog bills based on the average number of AWS Step Functions per hour across the month for your accounts. Every hour, Datadog records the number of Step Functions that were executed one or more times and monitored by your Datadog account. At the end of the month, Datadog charges by calculating the average of the hourly number of AWS Step Functions recorded. For example, if you invoked a function only once during a month, your bill will be 1 function / 720 hours * $5.
How do you define a span for AWS Step Functions?: Datadog bills based on the sum of AWS Step Function State transitions connected to an ingested APM trace in a given month. You will also be billed for the total number of indexed spans submitted to the Datadog APM service exceeding the bundled quantity at the end of the month.Any spans that are linked to the Step Function state, such as a Lambda invocation span ,is billed additionally. See AWS lambda pricing for more details.
Can I control how many invocations are traced?: Yes, Datadog allows you to control the percentage of AWS Step Function invocations that generate APM data.
Can Serverless APM be purchased without Serverless Workload Monitoring?: No, Serverless APM is an optional add-on for serverless functions sending metrics to Datadog via Serverless Workload Monitoring.
What is allotted with Serverless APM?: Span Ingestion: 50GB Ingested Spans per 1M traced invocations; then $0.10/GB. Span Retention: 300 thousand Indexed Spans per 1M traced invocations; then $1.70 per 1 million Indexed Spans with 15-day retention (billed annually or $2.55 on-demand). See APM common questions for additional retention periods.
What if I am sending both AWS Lambda Spans and AWS Step Function Spans?: AWS Lambda spans will be billed separately from AWS Step Function Spans. However, you can still link traces from AWS Lambda and Step Functions together together to get end-to-end step function execution visibility.
Can I monitor other Serverless AWS services used alongside my Step Functions?: Yes, you can monitor AWS Lambda functions with the Datadog Extension to get even deeper visibility into your Serverless workloads. Datadog also has an easy to set up AWS integration which immediately pulls in metrics and more from 85+ AWS services, including Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS AppSync, Amazon SQS, Amazon Kinesis

How do you define an active application instance?: Active instances for Azure Container Apps are measured based on the number of unique active Container App Replicas that are monitored within each 5-minute period. To calculate the monthly average, we take the average number over all 5-minute periods in the month.
Is Tracing included in Container App Monitoring?: Yes. However, any spans submitted from Azure Container Apps that go over your org’s current allotment will still be billed. Span Ingestion: 50GB Ingested Spans per 1M traced invocations. Span Retention: 300 thousand Indexed Spans per 1M traced invocations. See APM common questions for additional retention periods.
What metrics are included in Serverless Workload Monitoring?: Each active application instance includes an allotment of 5 ingested custom metrics and 5 indexed custom metrics.
Can I control how many requests are traced?: Yes, you can control the percentage of Container App requests that generate APM data by configuring your tracing settings.
How does pricing for Azure App Services work?: Azure App Service Plan instances are metered and treated as hosts for Datadog billing purposes. See Infrastructure Monitoring and Application Performance Monitoring for respective pricing. There is no additional monitoring cost for the individual Web Apps and Function Apps that are running on a given App Service Plan instance, and there is no additional Serverless APM cost for the traced requests and executions that they submit.

How do you define an active application instance?: Active instances for Cloud Run are measured based on the number of unique active Cloud Run instances that are monitored within each 5-minute period. To calculate the monthly average, we take the average number over all 5-minute periods in the month.
Is Tracing included in Container App Monitoring?: Yes. However, any spans submitted from Cloud Run that go over your org’s current allotment will still be billed. Span Ingestion: 50GB Ingested Spans per 1M traced invocations. Span Retention: 300 thousand Indexed Spans per 1M traced invocations. See APM common questions for additional retention periods.
Can I control how many requests are traced?: Yes, you can control the percentage of Cloud Run requests that generate APM data by configuring your tracing settings.

DSM automatically maps dependencies between all services and queues, measures latency between them, and provides additional health metrics, such as consumer lag, across your streaming data pipeline to help you monitor it end to end.

What counts as a billable DSM host?

A billable Data Streams Monitoring host is a host that has the Datadog Agent installed and producer and consumer services that are running on it and instrumented for DSM. Visit our documentation for additional setup information.

What kind of billing plan do I need to run Data Streams Monitoring?

Every billable DSM host requires the purchase of Pro or Enterprise Infrastructure Monitoring, regardless if it is combined with APM. Annual, month-to-month, and on-demand billing plans are available. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Can I purchase Data Streams Monitoring as part of a bundle?

Yes, Data Streams Monitoring is available bundled with APM as part of APM Pro and Enterprise and enables DSM across your APM fleet.

What kind of billing plan do I need to run Code Security?

Datadog Code Security is currently only available to customers of Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM).

How does Datadog Code Security work?

Datadog Code Security uses instrumentation to analyze applications in their running state, monitoring requests and their interactions with each internal layer—operating similarly to Application Performance Monitoring (APM). This instrumentation-based approach is called Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), which identifies code-level vulnerabilities in applications based solely on application traffic, and does not require any scans or security tests, ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed as the application runs. Learn more about Datadog Code Security in our documentation.

What languages does Datadog Code Security support?

Java, .NET, Node.JS, and Python. Learn more about supported languages in our documentation.

Do I have to deploy the product across all my APM hosts?

No. You can flexibly choose on which services Datadog Code Security is enabled.

Can Datadog Code Security scan my repositories to detect code-level vulnerabilities?

Yes. Datadog can detect code-level vulnerabilities in your repositories pre-production with a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) approach that ensures your code is secure before deployment. This capability is currently in beta. Supported programming languages include Java, C#, Javascript, and Typescript. Learn more about scanning a repository in our documentation.

Is Code Security available in all regions?

Yes.

Do you have special offerings for partners?

Common Questions

How does Observability Pipelines work?

Observability Pipelines gives the freedom to collect, transform, and route logs in your own environment in order to control costs, reduce lock-in, enhance security, and standardize data. You can learn more about how it works in our documentation.

Where does Observability Pipelines run?

Observability Pipelines Worker runs in your own infrastructure. It can be installed anywhere in your infrastructure with a simple configuration and Datadog API key. This allows you to make decisions and control costs before data leaves your environment. To learn more about the setup process, check out our documentation here.

What are the benefits of the per GB ingest pricing?

This is suited for organizations with volumes below 30TB/month. It is cost effective at lower volumes and easy to understand, as well as allowing you to pay based on your usage as you scale or ramp up early on.

However, your bill will increase at a linear rate as your volume increases, so if you are expecting your observability volume to balloon in the near future, the vCPU pricing may work better for your organization.

What are the benefits of the per vCPU pricing?

Per vCPU pricing is suited for volumes above 30TB/month, as it scales better especially at high volumes. In addition, the per vCPU pricing gives you predictable pricing year round if you expect frequent spikes or changes to your organization’s volume of observability data. Finally, it allows you to scale your computational resources based on the intensity of the processing required.

How many vCPUs do I need?

Sizing and resource provisioning for Observability Pipelines Worker depends on various factors, such as the pipeline configuration and workload. Generally speaking, we recommend provisioning 1 vCPU for every 30TB/month.

Read our documentation on Capacity Planning and Scaling for additional details.

What happens if I send an unexpectedly high volume of data?

Committing to vCPU pricing model allows you to absorb spikes in volume.

Even if you’re paying based on ingested volume, by committing to a monthly volume of data, you are not rate-limited based on a single day’s volume. Send as much data as you need on any given day without losing visibility. Assuming your average is lower on other days, your bill is unaffected. In those cases where you have a big month, not to worry! You maintain complete visibility and may be subject to overages only on the volumes that exceed your commitment.

Are there other billing options?

Annual and monthly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Do you have special offerings for partners?

We’re always looking to partner with technology and service providers and resellers. See our Partner Network page for more.

Common Questions

How do you define a database host?

A database host is any physical or virtual instance hosting your database on a server that you monitor with Datadog.

Note: Azure SQL Database deploys a database in an isolated network; each database is treated as a single host.

What databases are supported?

Database Monitoring (DBM) is vendor-agnostic. We support Postgres (9.6+), MySQL (5.6+), SQL Server (2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019), and Oracle (11g, 12c, 18c, 19c, 21c) databases at this time, whether they be on-premise, self-managed, or cloud-hosted. In the future, we plan to support additional databases.

Can I purchase Database Monitoring (DBM) standalone?

No, you need to be an existing Infrastructure Monitoring customer to purchase Database Monitoring.

I am an existing Infrastructure Monitoring customer. Can I purchase DBM for a portion of my database hosts?

Yes, you can purchase Database Monitoring (DBM) for one, some, or all of your database hosts!

What are (query) explain plans and how are they useful?

A query explain plan or query execution plan describes the steps used to access data and enables you to locate hotspots. We automatically capture explain plans for all queries to make sure that you have sample available during critical moments.

How long is DBM data retained?

– Query metrics are retained for 3 months
– Explain plans and query samples are retained for 15 days

How does DBM work?

DBM uses the Datadog Agent to capture data from your databases. Please see our documentation for more information.

Does DBM require the use of an additional agent?

No, as long as you are an Infrastructure Monitoring customer and already have the standard Datadog Agent set up, you are able to use Database Monitoring. Check out our docs page for details.

What are normalized queries?

Identical queries with different parameters are grouped together by obfuscating the parameters. These query groups are called normalized queries and are sometimes referred to as query digests. Each database host comes with an allotment of 200 normalized queries. Obfuscating parameters at the agent level also ensures that no sensitive data is forwarded.

Can I still use DBM if I have additional normalized queries past the allotted amount?

The 200 normalized queries per host allotment is aggregated across all hosts, meaning that if you have 2 hosts, you have a total limit of 200 + 200 = 400 queries regardless of the exact breakdown by host, i.e. 200 normalized queries on average. At your request, we can accommodate additional normalized queries surpassing this limit for an extra charge.

Are there other billing options?

Annual and monthly plans are available. We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. For a detailed explanation of billing, please see our Billing FAQ.

Common Questions

How do I set up Data Jobs Monitoring (DJM)?

Depending on the platform you use to run Apache Spark, follow the installation instructions for Amazon EMR, Databricks, and/or Kubernetes. Learn more about how DJM works from our documentation.

What is the default retention for DJM data types?

90 days for job execution traces and 15 months for metrics.

How is DJM usage calculated and how is it billed?

Datadog DJM is billed per host, per hour. This uses an average host count per hour, by sampling the number of unique hosts instrumented every five minutes and taking an average of those samples.

Example: Suppose we observe:
1:00-1:05 pm: 100 unique DJM hosts
1:05-1:10 pm: 300 unique DJM hosts
1:10-1:15 pm: 150 unique DJM hosts
1:15-1:20 pm: 50 unique DJM hosts
1:20-2:00 pm (last 8 intervals): 0 unique DJM hosts

The sum of unique host counts in each five-minute interval for the hour is 100 + 300 + 150 + 50 = 600. Since there are 12 five-minute intervals in one hour, we would then divide this sum by 12 to get the average, leading to 600 / 12 = 50.

Assume we see this usage pattern once a day for 30 days. This would result in a monthly total of 50 x 30 = 1,500 billable DJM host hours.

Does using DJM generate usage of other Datadog products?

DJM job execution traces generate Span Ingestion and Span Indexing usage, which may lead to additional charges beyond the allotted 0.205 GB Ingested Spans & 1,370 Indexed Spans per DJM host, per hour.

DJM for Spark on Kubernetes (K8s) generates container monitoring usage and there is an allotment of 10 DJM containers per host.

Enabling Spark log collection (optional) when using DJM is billed via Datadog Log Management.

Do hosts with DJM also count as Infrastructure hosts?

No, hosts where DJM is enabled do not require Infrastructure Monitoring and are not billed as Infrastructure hosts.

Is this available in all regions?

DJM is available in our AP, EU, and US data centers. It is currently not available in GovCloud (US).

Common Questions

How does Datadog Error Tracking work?

Error Tracking automatically groups uncaught exceptions found in certain error events (from APM traces, RUM sessions, standalone frontend errors, and logs) across frontend and backend applications into issues with rich debug context.

How is Error Tracking billed?

Your volume of standalone frontend errors (collected outside of RUM sessions) and indexed error logs with certain attributes (e.g., stack traces) are billed for Error Tracking. To learn more about Error Tracking attributes see our docs.

Note: For indexed logs, see Log Management pricing here.

Which programming languages does Error Tracking support?

Browser Errors support JavaScript and TypeScript. Mobile Errors support Native iOS, Native Android, and React Native. Backend Errors support Java, NodeJS, .NET, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, and C++.

I’m an existing Datadog APM and/or Real User Monitoring (RUM) customer. Do I need to pay for Error Tracking?

No. Error Tracking is included for errors collected as part of APM traces and RUM sessions at no additional cost. Error Tracking for Logs requires the Log Management product with indexing.

Can I filter errors eligible for Error Tracking?

Yes. You can use Error Tracking Rules to include and exclude certain errors that are ingested and billed by Error Tracking. We also offer rate limiting capabilities to safeguard against unexpected costs by allowing you to set a budget, ensuring your bill remains predictable and under control. You can also view a rolling 24-hour volume estimate in-app.

Is this available in all regions?

Yes. Error Tracking is available in all EU- and US-hosted accounts.

How can I start using Error Tracking?

Visit the Error Tracking documentation and start sending your backend or browser and mobile application errors to Error Tracking. Error Tracking can be enabled in-app.
