Network Performance Monitoring
summary
Datadog launches Network Performance Monitoring that collects network metrics without instrumentation and surfaces a thousand‑foot view in 30 seconds. It aggregates traffic by tags, services, availability zones, containers and processes, and shows bandwidth and TCP retransmits. Example: Elasticsearch causes cross‑AZ traffic and duplicating instances per AZ reduces AWS transit costs. The agent maps flows down to processes/containers, ties to existing Datadog tags, and reveals external dependencies and security blind spots.
