Datadog makes it easy to monitor ephemeral, containerized infrastructure. In this video you’ll learn how to leverage Datadog’s Live Container View to effectively dive into your container health. Using this view, you can sort and group your containers by tags or labels imported from Kubernetes, such as container name.

Once you’ve isolated a particular container in the Live Container View, you can examine all of its data in one place—including live processes, infrastructure metrics, traces from services hosted on that container, and logs. You can even see the network flows here, so you can pinpoint what other services, clusters, or DNS addresses your container in question is talking to.
