Monitor your Edgecast CDN with Datadog

The text discusses Edgecast, a global network platform that provides content delivery network (CDN) and other solutions for edge computing, application security, and over-the-top video streaming. It also introduces Datadog's Edgecast integration, which allows users to visualize key performance metrics with an out-of-the-box dashboard and get alerted on important issues such as low cache hit rate ratio or anomalous increase in traffic and errors. The integration includes a dashboard that displays key performance and traffic metrics, enabling users to monitor the impact of cache configuration changes in pre-production and deploy with confidence. Additionally, it allows users to visualize their Edgecast metrics in context with other services they integrate with. Users can also configure alerts for key thresholds for metrics like cache hit ratio and average bandwidth, as well as anomaly monitors to detect abnormal behavior that deviates from historical baselines.
