ControlMonkey Extends Disaster Recovery to Observability Stacks, Targeting Critical Outage Risk

New updates have been reported about ControlMonkey.

ControlMonkey has expanded its Cloud Configuration Disaster Recovery platform to cover observability and monitoring systems, positioning the company at the center of resilience for cloud operations. The platform now safeguards configurations across leading observability providers, including Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, Grafana Cloud, and Splunk, capturing daily snapshots of dashboards, alert rules, monitors, escalation policies, and service definitions.

By enabling rapid restoration of these observability configurations from versioned snapshots, ControlMonkey aims to reduce downtime risk and the manual effort required to rebuild monitoring environments after incidents, misconfigurations, or accidental deletions. This move extends the company’s reach beyond infrastructure and network configuration recovery into the broader cloud control plane, differentiating it from traditional disaster recovery solutions that focus mainly on data restoration.

For engineering and SRE teams that rely on observability tools as the first line of diagnosis during outages, ControlMonkey’s capabilities address a growing operational gap where monitoring assets are typically not included in formal disaster recovery plans. The platform adds continuous configuration monitoring to track changes and detect drift across observability providers, alongside a resilience score that gives executives centralized visibility into configuration coverage and restore readiness across infrastructure, network, and observability layers.

Customer feedback underscores the operational importance of this expansion, with HoneyBook’s Director of DevOps and DevSecOps noting that ControlMonkey ensures critical Datadog dashboards and alerting policies remain versioned and recoverable, preserving visibility during high-severity incidents. ControlMonkey plans to showcase these expanded capabilities at KubeCon Europe in Amsterdam, targeting cloud-native and enterprise buyers responsible for reliability and compliance.

Strategically, the enhancement reinforces ControlMonkey’s positioning as an end-to-end infrastructure-as-code automation and governance platform, combining AI-driven automation with disaster recovery and resilience across the cloud stack. Founded by the team behind Spot.io, the company is using this expanded coverage to deepen its value proposition for enterprises seeking stronger governance, reduced operational risk, and tighter control of complex, multi-provider observability environments.
