How to Manage VM Datadog?

Azure VM Performance Tracking: Datadog & Cloudshot Implementation

Manage VM Datadog is a feature that allows you to monitor and manage your virtual machines using the Datadog monitoring service.

1. Right-click on your virtual machine icon in the diagram
2. Go to the 'Cloudshot Azure' menu
3. Click on 'Manage VM Datadog'

1. Choosing your region helps the agent work faster by connecting to nearby servers.
2. The API key is like a special password that lets the agent send information securely to your Datadog account.(you can get this by clicking the provided link)
3. Then click on 'Install Agent'.

 1. Remove the agent:

• If you choose 'Yes,' the Datadog tool will be completely removed from your VM.
• You'd do this if you no longer want to use Datadog to monitor this particular VM.

 2. Start the agent:

• When you start the agent, it begins collecting data about your VM's performance, such as how much memory it's using, how busy the CPU is, etc.
• This is useful when you want to begin or resume monitoring after a pause.

 3. Stop the agent:

• The agent stops collecting and sending data about your VM.
• You might do this if you want to pause monitoring temporarily, perhaps during maintenance or to save on data transfer.

  4. Display Datadog Agent Status: 

• This option shows you the current state of the Datadog agent on your virtual machine.
• It tells you if the Datadog agent is 'Running' or not. In this case, it shows 'DatadogStatus Status: Running', which means the agent is active and working.
