Correlate applications, infrastructure, and networks faster
- Quickly pinpoint network issues by visualizing the hop-by-hop path taken by traffic between applications across cloud, physical, and wide area networks
- Accelerate investigations by seamlessly pivoting between inter-application traffic and the corresponding underlying infrastructure traffic
- Improve MTTR by identifying intermediate hop metrics, latency, and packet loss details within the traffic path
- Track and alert on service-to-service interactions and metrics to monitor network performance between two applications
Built for hybrid multi-cloud and on-premises environments
- Remediate incidents efficiently by consolidating traffic monitoring between any two endpoints at the service, pod, cluster, or host-level, across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments
- Avoid tool switching by getting visibility into modern infrastructure and applications, including containers, serverless, cloud services, and virtual machines in a single pane of glass
- Prove network innocence by tracking connectivity to 3rd party cloud services and internet endpoints for complete network awareness
- Trace multi-cloud network issues with comprehensive visibility across all major cloud providers
Focus remediations with intelligent insights and alerting
- Track and receive alerts on abnormal network states by creating monitors and dashboards from network metrics using Datadog’s advanced tags
- Optimize cloud spend by identifying top talkers across your network and the teams responsible for that traffic
- Secure your network by identifying DNS traffic being sent to suspicious domains
- Effectively root-cause network problems by easily scoping and grouping traffic flows by unified tags
Product Brief: Cloud Network Monitoring
Learn how to unify network visibility across your clouds, applications, and devicesBuilt for hybrid multi-vendor environments
- Reduce tool sprawl by gaining visibility into any device on any network, including on-premises, SD-WAN, and wireless devices, through SNMP metrics, SNMP Traps, APIs, NetFlow, and syslogs
- Automatically discover and gather insights from devices across any vendor, including Juniper, Cisco, Meraki, F5, Arista, and Aruba, and many more to get comprehensive inventory of your network
- Leverage out-of-the-box dashboards to correlate across critical signals, device and interface performance, network traffic, and overall site health, all in one consolidated place
- Effortlessly discover devices and monitor networks of any size with our scalable, open-source, SaaS-based agent
Investigate issues faster with deeper network and device insights
- Drill down to investigate interface performance with a single click, and easily investigate across all network signals including metrics, SNMP Traps, NetFlow traffic, and syslogs
- Detect and resolve network issues faster with real-time alerts that highlight problems across your entire stack, anomalies to quickly spot malfunctioning devices, and forecast future bandwidth
- Gain a bird’s-eye view of your network’s physical connections, device issues, and their upstream/downstream impacts through automatic device topology map visualizations
- Correlate network and application issues to enhance team collaboration, reduce finger-pointing, and boost MTTR
Take action with high context traffic flow visibility
- Identify top contributors of network congestion, pinpoint traffic bottlenecks, and understand what is saturating a particular interface
- Verify the legitimacy of network traffic and identify unusual network patterns across applications, geographies, cloud providers, and domains sending or receiving traffic across your network
- Collect and analyze traffic flows with insights into any flow variants such as NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9, IPFIX, sFlow, and jFlow
- Slice and dice traffic flows by sources, destinations, ports, protocols and applications, and correlate this data with host and application data to understand the impact of network traffic
