Monitor C and C++ Applications with Datadog RUM
Datadog, Monday, November 2nd, 2026
The Datadog C++ SDK extends Datadog RUM to native C and C++ apps on Windows, macOS and Linux with crash reporting and user session context.
Datadog announced that its C++ SDK brings Real User Monitoring to native C and C++ applications on Windows, macOS and Linux.
The SDK collects crash diagnostics, tracks errors and captures instrumented user activity so teams can troubleshoot failures in the context of user sessions.
It captures signals such as SIGSEGV and SIGABRT on Linux and macOS and unhandled structured exceptions on Windows, with symbolication of stack traces when debug symbols are uploaded.
Users can choose an in-process crash handler requiring only C++17 or an out-of-process handler based on Crashpad that catches more failures and uploads reports immediately.
