Monitor Your AWS Infrastructure with Datadog

Connect Datadog and AWS to get full-stack observability, automated alerting, and cost insights across all cloud resources.

Datadog and AWS are the backbone of modern cloud operations. Connecting them through Neotask gives your team unified visibility into infrastructure health, performance, and costs.

What You Can Automate

EC2 Instance Health Monitoring

Track CPU, memory, and disk utilization across all EC2 instances and alert on thresholds.

RDS Database Performance Tracking

Monitor query latency, connection counts, and replication lag for RDS instances.

Lambda Function Observability

Collect Lambda invocation counts, error rates, and cold start durations into Datadog.

ECS and EKS Container Monitoring

Visualize container health, resource usage, and deployment events across clusters.

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection

Correlate unexpected AWS spending spikes with infrastructure events logged in Datadog.

How It Works

Connect Your Accounts

Authorize Neotask to connect Datadog and AWS using a cross-account IAM role.

Neotask Configures

Enable metric collection across your selected AWS services and regions.

Query and Respond

Manage your infrastructure from a single conversational interface.

Why Connect Datadog and AWS?

AWS provides compute, storage, and networking. Datadog provides the observability layer. Together they form a complete monitoring platform.

What Gets Automated

• Infrastructure monitoring across 600+ AWS services
• Log management from CloudWatch and VPC flow logs
• Incident response with contextual data from AWS
• Security monitoring with Cloud Security Management
• Cost optimization with billing correlation

Natural Language Querying

Query your infrastructure, configure dashboards, and respond to alerts using plain language instead of multiple UIs.

Try Asking Neotask

• Show me all EC2 instances with CPU over 80% for the last hour.
• Create a Datadog dashboard for my production RDS cluster.
• Which Lambda functions have the highest error rate this week?
• Set up a monitor to alert when ELB 5xx rate exceeds 1%.
• Pull CloudWatch logs for my ECS service from the last 30 minutes.
• Compare AWS spending this month with last month and highlight anomalies.
• List all open Datadog security findings for my AWS account.

Pro Tips

Tip

Mirror your AWS resource tagging strategy in Datadog tags for clean filtering.

Tip

Enable AWS Config integration to correlate infrastructure changes with metric spikes.

Tip

Set budget-based monitors in Datadog to catch AWS cost anomalies early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require an agent on every instance?

No. The core integration uses a cross-account IAM role. The Datadog Agent is optional for host-level metrics.

Will this affect my AWS billing?

CloudWatch API costs are typically minimal. Datadog billing scales with hosts and custom metrics.

Can Neotask manage Datadog monitors for AWS?

Yes. Create, update, and query monitors and dashboards using the Datadog API.

What AWS services are supported?

Over 600 including EC2, RDS, Lambda, ECS, EKS, S3, CloudFront, ELB, and more.
