Datadog Event

A Datadog event representing a notable change or activity within monitored infrastructure or applications. Events are displayed in the Datadog Events Explorer and can be overlaid on metric graphs for correlating infrastructure changes with performance impacts. Common event sources include code deployments, configuration changes, alert state transitions, auto-scaling actions, health check state changes, and custom business events submitted via the API. Events are retained for 180 days.
