Datadog Monitor Setup Assistance

I’m midway through a project and need to get robust monitors in place on Datadog. While I’m comfortable with the application stack itself, my Datadog knowledge is minimal, so I’d like an expert to take ownership of the monitoring layer.

Scope
• Analyse the current environment (mix of EC2 instances, Docker containers and a couple of managed services) and translate our reliability goals into actionable Datadog monitors.
• Configure the monitors directly in our Datadog account—thresholds, alert conditions, notification channels, tags, dashboards, everything required for clear, noise-free alerts.
• Walk me through the reasoning behind each monitor so I can maintain them afterwards. Short Loom recordings or concise written notes are perfect.

Deliverables
1. A working set of Datadog monitors ready for production.
2. Documentation or screencasts explaining each configuration.

Please highlight your experience building Datadog monitors for similar infrastructures and any lessons you’ve learned about keeping alert fatigue low. I’m available for quick sync calls and can grant temporary access as soon as we agree on the approach.
