Datadog NPM now monitors traffic to Amazon S3, Google Cloud BigQuery, and other managed cloud services

Datadog Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) has introduced automatic detection and tagging of AWS- and GCP-managed endpoints in your network. This feature provides an unprecedented view into applications' communication with managed cloud services, such as Amazon S3 and RDS, Google Cloud DNS, and more. It enables users to monitor network traffic to their AWS services and API calls made to key GCP dependencies, making it easier to identify the source of communication issues. The NPM also allows visualization of network throughput, latency, and other key metrics about the traffic between any tagged objects in your environment. This helps users spot where latency and connectivity issues are concentrated and identify which client services and managed endpoints are causing or affected by these performance bottlenecks.
