Chapter 6. Exploring Third Party Options

So far, we have been looking at the tools and services you host yourself. Along with these self-hosted tools, a large amount of cloud-based software has developed around Docker as a service ecosystem. In this chapter, we will look at the following topics:

Why use a SaaS service over self-hosted or real-time metrics?
What services are available and what do they offer?
Installation of agents for Sysdig Cloud, Datadog, and New Relic on the host machines
Configuration of the agents to ship metrics
