This workshop will demonstrate an introductory overview of Pipeline Visibility in Datadog. After integrating Pipeline Visibility with a CI provider, we will use custom tags and metrics to capture relevant CI information—such as Docker image size over time—and find performance regressions across our pipelines, stages, and jobs. Then, by integrating Datadog Log Management with our CI provider, we’ll be able to explore logs in context of their specific pipelines and jobs.

We’ll also learn how to create custom widgets and dashboards that deliver insights into CI providers in a single pane of glass, allowing your build engineering team to adopt a data-driven mindset. Finally, we’ll explore how you can reduce alert fatigue by setting up monitors on specific jobs, allowing you to have fine-grained alerting depending on the job in question.
