Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.
Join an introductory or intermediate enablement session to learn more about how Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides AI-powered, code-level distributed tracing from browser and mobile applications to backend services and databases.
Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides deep visibility into your applications, enabling you to identify performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues, and optimize your services. With distributed tracing, out-of-the-box dashboards, and seamless correlation with other telemetry data, Datadog APM helps ensure the best possible performance and user experience for your applications.
The simplest way to start with Datadog APM is with Single Step Instrumentation. This approach installs the Datadog Agent and instruments your application in one step, with no additional configuration steps required. To learn more, read Single Step Instrumentation.
For setups that require more customization, Datadog supports custom instrumentation with Datadog tracing libraries. To learn more, read Application Instrumentation.
If you're new to Datadog APM, read Getting Started with APM to learn how to send your first trace to Datadog.
Use cases

How Datadog APM can help
Understand how requests flow through your system.
Use the Trace Explorer to query and visualize end-to-end traces across distributed services.
Monitor service health and performance of individual services.
Use the service and resource pages to assess service health by analyzing performance metrics, tracking deployments, and identifying problematic resources.
Correlate traces with DBM, RUM, logs, synthetics, and profiles.
Use Ingestion Controls to adjust ingestion configuration and sampling rates by service and resource. Use Retention filters to choose which spans to retain for 15 days.
Trace Explorer
The Trace Explorer allows you search and analyze your traces in real-time. Identify performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot errors, and pivot to related logs and metrics to understand the full context around any issue.
Traces start in your instrumented applications and flow into Datadog.
Datadog APM provides tools to manage the volume and retention of your trace data. Use Ingestion Controls to adjust sampling rates and retention filters to control which spans are stored.
