Datadog for Visual Studio
The Datadog extension for Visual Studio enables developers to quickly identify and fix bugs, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities by leveraging observability data from services and runtime environments.
Features
Logs Support
View the estimated log volume detected based on Log Patterns in your source code and jump straight to Logs Explorer for deeper analysis.
Code Insights
Stay updated on error tracking issues, security vulnerabilities, and flaky tests - all without leaving Visual Studio.
Continuous Profiler
Analyze the performance of your applications with various profiling metrics such as CPU Time, Allocated Memory, Heap Size, Lock Wait Time, and Thrown Exceptions.
Static Code Analysis
Analyze your codebase locally for security vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and best practices.
Open in Visual Studio
Seamless experience for navigating to source code in Visual Studio from the Datadog website.
