Common Questions About Mezmo + Datadog
with your existing Datadog environment.
Mezmo sits as an intelligent pre-processing layer between your applications and Datadog. Your telemetry data flows through Mezmo first, where it's filtered, transformed, and optimized before reaching Datadog. This requires minimal changes to your existing setup—simply redirect your data streams to Mezmo, and we'll handle the routing to Datadog. Your dashboards, alerts, and workflows in Datadog remain unchanged, but you'll see significantly reduced costs and improved data quality.
No, your existing Datadog dashboards and alerts will continue to work exactly as they do today. Mezmo enhances the data quality going into Datadog by filtering noise and enriching context, which often makes your dashboards more accurate and your alerts more reliable. The data structure and format remain compatible with all your existing Datadog configurations, queries, and integrations.
Most customers see 30-50% reduction in their Datadog costs, with some achieving up to 70% savings depending on their data patterns. The savings come from intelligent filtering of low-value logs, metric cardinality reduction, trace sampling, and data aggregation before ingestion. We provide a free cost assessment that analyzes your current Datadog usage and offers a personalized savings estimate tailored to your specific data patterns.
Mezmo's Responsive Pipelines feature includes a 4-hour buffer that stores all your raw telemetry data, even what's filtered out. During incidents, you can replay and reprocess this buffered data to recover any necessary information. Additionally, our Live Tail feature lets you stream raw logs in real-time, independent of what's being sent to Datadog, ensuring you never lose visibility when it matters most.
Most customers are up and running with Mezmo in 1-2 weeks. The implementation involves redirecting your data streams to Mezmo and configuring processing pipelines based on your specific needs. We provide dedicated customer success engineers who help with the setup, pipeline configuration, and optimization. You can start with a subset of your data to validate the approach before rolling it out across all services.
Mezmo is designed for high-performance, real-time processing with minimal latency impact (typically <50ms). Our platform is built on a distributed, fault-tolerant architecture with automatic failover capabilities. If Mezmo experiences any issues, your data can be automatically routed directly to Datadog to ensure continuity. We maintain 99.9% uptime SLA and provide multiple deployment options, including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises configurations.
