Overview

When something goes wrong, a computer tells you about it. This is what a monitor is: a Datadog feature that actively checks metrics, integration availability, network endpoints, etc. and communicates when an alerting condition occurs. The monitor has a query and alert conditions. There are different monitor types.

Host

A host monitor listens to the Datadog Agent heartbeats and notifies on the status of the heartbeat. This could give an indication whether the hosts the Agents run on are responsive. Every Datadog Agent reports a service check called datadog.agent.up with the status OK.
