## Overview

Monitoring all of your infrastructure in one place wouldn't be complete without the ability to know when critical changes are occurring. Datadog gives you the ability to create monitors that actively check metrics, integration availability, network endpoints, and more.

Configure monitors, configure notifications and automations, and manage alerts at a glance on the Alerting platform.

**Note**: View and search for Monitors on your mobile device with the [Datadog Mobile App][1], available on the [Apple App Store][2] and [Google Play Store][3].

## Create monitors

To create a monitor in Datadog:
Datadog Monitors provide vital visibility into your infrastructure, enabling proactive detection and real-time response to performance issues and outages. By configuring monitors to track key metrics and thresholds, organizations can receive immediate alerts and address problems before they impact customers or cause system downtime.

1. Navigate to [**Monitors** > **New Monitor**][4].
1. Select a monitor type corresponding to the kind of telemetry you want to alert on. See [Monitor Types][5] for the full list.
1. [Configure Monitors][6]: Alert over metrics, events, logs, integration availability, network endpoints, and more.
Monitor critical changes by checking metrics, integration availability, and network endpoints through the Alerting platform. With Datadog Monitors you can:
- Simplify monitoring and response processes
- Enhance operational efficiency
- Optimize performance

{{< img src="/monitors/create.png" alt="Create a monitor" style="width:90%;">}}
## Get started

To create a monitor programmatically, see the [Datadog API][7] or [community maintained libraries][8].
The fastest way to start with Datadog Monitors is with [Recommended Monitors][1]. These are a collection of monitors within Datadog that are preconfigured by Datadog and integration partners.

## Configure notifications and automations
You can also build your own monitors from scratch in lab environments in the Learning Center, or in your application by following the Getting Started with Monitors guide.

Datadog.sentencelength 

Suggestion: Try to keep your sentence length to 25 words or fewer.

{{< img src="/monitors/notify.png" alt="Notify when a monitor is alerting" style="width:90%;">}}

Set up [Monitor Notifications][11] when creating monitors to keep your team informed of issues. Route the notifications to the correct people, include [workflow automations][17], [cases][18], and [Datadog team handles][19], leverage template variables to include details, and attach snapshots when sending the alerts by email or Slack. Create [downtimes][12] to mute alerts during application maintenance.

## Manage monitors

{{< img src="/monitors/manage.png" alt="Manage all monitors alerts" style="width:90%;">}}

[Manage Monitors][13] by editing, cloning, deleting, muting, and resolving monitors all in the same place. Focus on high priority alerts by using advanced faceted search. Explore monitor details and alerts over time on the [Monitors List page][9].

## Export and import monitors

To export a monitor:

1. From the [**Manage Monitors**][9] page, click the monitor you want to export.
1. You should see the Monitor Status page.
1. Click the settings cog (top right) and select **Export** from the menu.

To import a monitor:
## Analyze aggregate data

1. Navigate to [**Monitors** > **New Monitor**][4].
1. Click [**Import from JSON**][10] at the top of the page.
1. Add your JSON monitor definition and click **Save**.
Data should be well-understood, granular, tagged by scope, and long-lived. Use different data types for alerts and diagnostics, based on the level of urgency. Instrument all applications and collect as much relevant data as possible for comprehensive measurements and observability of complex systems.

## Control monitor tags with tag policies
Measure the health of your applications and the state of your infrastructure with Datadog. Use data from across the Datadog platform to create alerts on potential issues.

[Monitor tag policies][14] enforce data validation on tags and tag values on your Datadog monitors. Add one of the following rules to prevent monitors with unexpected tags from being created.
- Require tags with mandatory values
- Require tags only
- Optional tags with mandatory values
## Alert on what matters

## View and search for monitors on mobile devices
Set up [Monitor Notifications][2] to keep your team informed of issues and provide troubleshooting guidance. Route the notifications to the correct people, leverage template variables to include details, and attach snapshots when sending the alerts by email or Slack.

[Mobile-Friendly Monitors on iOS and Android][15]: View, mute, and unmute monitors on any iOS or Android device with the [Datadog Mobile App][1], available on the [Apple App Store][2] and [Google Play Store][3]. Write queries in the search bar to filter monitors in real-time. Use [Monitor Saved Views][16] to access a collection of monitors in a few taps on mobile.
Reduce alerting fatigue so teams can focus on resolving alerts when it matters. Create [downtimes][3] to mute alerts during application maintenance.
