How does Datadog measure DAUs?


Where does the userstats.o1.daus metric take the data from?

I looked in the metrics list and in the app, but I don't seem to find the source of the metric.

The application infrastructure relies on:

  • AWS
  • DynamoDB
  • New Relic
  • Amplitude

Solution

  • I found the answer thanks to @tqr_aupa_atleti and the support team from Datadog.

    On the Datadog dashboard panel, I had to click Metrics -> Summary and look for my metric. I looked at the tags and I could figure out it was a custom metric form my company that uses data from Amplitude.
