Use domain resolution to monitor cloud and external endpoints

What's this blog post about?

Domain resolution is now generally available in Network Performance Monitoring to provide enhanced visibility into endpoints within and outside the network. This feature translates temporary IPs into stable domain names, allowing users to quickly pinpoint dependencies to cloud and external endpoints like Amazon S3, load balancers, and more. It also helps isolate connectivity and latency issues in traffic to external endpoints where an agent cannot be installed, such as third-party platforms and APIs. Domain resolution is automatically enabled for Network Performance Monitoring with the latest release of the Datadog Agent.
