What to do while Datadog is down
isuptime cannot fix Datadog, and neither can you. These are the things that are actually worth doing until it comes back.
- Read what Datadog has actually published. Their incident notes say which components are affected and usually carry an estimate, which is more than any third party can tell you. Datadog's status page
- Stop retrying in a loop. If your code calls Datadog, back off exponentially and cap the retries. A retry storm from every client at once is a large part of why outages take as long to clear as they do, and it will exhaust your own quota before the service returns.
- Get told when it clears, instead of refreshing. The bell in the header sets up a browser notification, or a Discord, Slack or Telegram webhook, for the moment Datadog's status changes.
- Move the urgent work elsewhere. Only worth it for something that cannot wait — check the substitute is up first.

What Datadog is
Datadog is a monitoring and observability platform: infrastructure metrics, APM traces, logs, synthetic checks, real user monitoring and alerting, fed by agents installed across your systems.
What Datadog's status feed covers
Datadog runs separate sites — US1, US3, US5, EU1, AP1 — on separate infrastructure, and its status page reports on each one independently. Read the row for your own site, since an incident on US1 says nothing about EU1. Ingestion and alerting are listed apart from the web application, and alerting is the one that matters: monitors not evaluating means you are blind rather than merely inconvenienced.
isuptime reads this feed on a schedule and reports what it says — how that works, in detail.

Datadog says operational but it is not working for me
Missing metrics are usually the agent rather than the platform — check that it is running and that its API key matches the site you are looking at. Sending data to the wrong regional endpoint is a common and confusing failure, because everything succeeds and nothing appears. Log indexing exclusion filters and daily quotas drop data silently by design.
