Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Datadog metrics not showing?

Missing metrics can be due to Datadog outages, agent issues, or intake delays. Check our status above and Datadog's Metrics component. If Datadog is up, verify your agent is running and check agent status with 'datadog-agent status'.

Are Datadog alerts working during outages?

Alert evaluation and notifications may be delayed during Datadog outages. This is critical - your monitoring may not detect issues while Datadog is down. Consider having a backup monitoring solution for essential alerts.

Why is my Datadog dashboard not loading?

Dashboard issues can indicate web app problems or data delays. Check the Dashboards component status. If Datadog is up, try a different browser, clear cache, or check if specific visualizations are causing timeouts.

Does Datadog APM work during metric outages?

APM, Logs, and Metrics may be affected independently during partial outages. Check each component's status. Data is typically buffered by agents and sent when service resumes, but real-time visibility is lost during outages.
