When is the best time to check the status of a Datadog integration?

Checking the status of a Datadog integration after making configuration changes is the best practice because it ensures that any modifications implemented are functioning as intended. Configuration changes can introduce new settings, adjust current parameters, or affect connectivity with various services. Therefore, assessing the integration status immediately after these changes allows you to verify that the modifications are yielding the desired outcomes and to quickly identify any issues that may have arisen as a result.

Monitoring the status regularly after such changes helps maintain the reliability and effectiveness of your monitoring setup, allowing you to troubleshoot promptly if something is not working right. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of overlooking potential problems that could lead to more significant issues later on.
