Increase infrastructure visibility with an effective tagging strategy

The Problem

A sound tagging strategy is key to the success of any cloud transformation, regardless of the tools and platforms chosen by your company.

Manually creating tags is one of the biggest mistakes customers make in their journey into the cloud, and our team is experienced in guiding customers through the challenges of automating tag creation using cloud templates.

The Solution

Our engineers have years of experience in advising customers on which tags are important, how to use them, and how to automatically generate and consume them.

Tags are a powerful way to correlate data across your infrastructure so that you can generate insights for both business and engineering teams. Knowing which tags are important, which are mandatory, and which are nice to have, will make your cloud journey infinitely more scalable across all modern platforms your team adopts.

How It Works

Increase infrastructure visibility with an effective tagging strategy

Datadog Tagging Strategy Workshop

In this remote workshop, we'll help you identify and create tags that surface the metrics most relevant to your business.

Business Unit Tagging

Track cost across organizations, monitor ecommerce user behavior, identify top-performing SKUs and pages, dynamically route alerts to the right teams, and roll up performance and cost reporting for leadership — including SLAs and SLOs.

Engineering Team Tagging

Build a scalable tagging strategy by leveraging existing configuration tags, deriving new ones from your current tech stack, and mapping infrastructure accordingly. Categorize services by function and owner, unify metrics, logs, and traces, and set up informative alerts that auto-route to the responsible teams.

Datadog Quickstart Workshop

Our two-day, on-site quickstart workshops can give your team the knowledge they need to more effectively implement Datadog. Your organization can get some quick wins that jumpstart your monitoring efforts.

Datadog Implementation Services

RapDev offers multi-stage Datadog implementation services to efficiently deploying monitoring across both cloud and on-premise infrastructure. With the help of RapDev engineers, you’ll be able to accelerate your rollout to quickly gain comprehensive visibility into your infrastructure.

Datadog Integrations

The Datadog platform offers over 1000 out-of-the-box integrations, but RapDev has uncovered some gaps through working with our customers. That’s why we’ve built many Datadog integrations ourselves, including SNMP Profiles, Office365, Zoom, Solaris, Nutanix, and more.

We’re continually developing new integrations to maximize the value of the platform for our customers and the Datadog community.
