Overview

Configuations in these examples are meant to be used in Datadog trials or as starting points for the configuration of various Datadog packages and products.

By default many of these examples turn every feature and product on. If you do not want this behavior please consult the Datadog documentation to turn off features you do not want to use. In almost every case it should be self explanitory in the example as I've included links to the docs in the examples.
