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.

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.

Derive new engineering tags from your existing tagging methods or newly developed methods, including:

  • Leveraging existing configuration tags
  • Obtaining new tags from current tech stacks
  • Identifying a scalable tagging strategy for future Datadog application roll-outs
  • Map your infrastructure with your collected tags
  • Categorize services by function and responsible teams
  • Unify data streams to pivot between service metrics, logs and request traces
  • Assign owners to services and build informative alerts that automatically route notifications to teams

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 400 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.
