July 2025 — DataDog/documentation: Delivered three feature-focused documentation updates to improve security, visibility, and reliability around Cloud Cost Management (CCM) and Tag Pipelines. Key outcomes include: (1) CCM Permissions Documentation: added a warning for 'Cloud Cost Management Write' and clarified CCM Settings Page permissions to prevent misconfigurations; (2) CCM Evaluation Frequency for Monitors: updated cloud_cost.md to specify 30-minute evaluation frequency in addition to the 48-hour delay, improving visibility into cost data assessments; (3) Tag Pipelines Backfill: clarified backfill rules (most recent three months; up to 24 hours to complete) to set expectations. These updates reduce onboarding friction, support questions, and data quality issues. Commits underpinning the changes include ad9e49f59bda6148c42ef3b973b864e84d8e764d, e086f402f61715b282e5d08b22a0298aafa33270, 8729046124f12f0fb7d0f21c66260feedc1b3592, and 171dd505bdee2287625a27031440f0ff28b57c16.
