Migrations
Automated migration from legacy vendors. Bring over your monitors, dashboards, data sources, and all the data you need - with automatic mapping and zero downtime.
Overview
groundcover is the first observability platform to ship a one-click migration tool from legacy vendors. The migration flow automatically discovers, translates, and installs your observability setup into groundcover.
Goal: Move your entire observability stack with zero manual work. We don't just migrate assets - we bring the data and handle all the mapping for you.
What we migrate
Monitors
Includes alert conditions, thresholds, and evaluation windows.
Dashboards
Complete dashboard migration with preserved layouts:
All widget types groundcover supports
Query translations
Time ranges and filters
Visual settings and arrangements
Data Sources
We detect what you're using in Datadog and help you set it up in groundcover. One-click migration for integrations is coming soon.
Data & Mapping
We don't just copy configurations - we ensure the data flows:
Automatic metric mapping: Datadog metric names translated to groundcover equivalents
Label translation: Tags become labels with intelligent mapping
Query conversion: Datadog query syntax converted to groundcover
Data validation: We verify all referenced metrics and data sources exist
