Monitor SNMP with Datadog

Datadog's Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) integration allows users to monitor and alert on the health and performance of their on-premise network infrastructure alongside the rest of their stack from one centralized platform. SNMP enables administrators to remotely modify settings and view information about network devices, such as routers, switches, or servers, across local and wide-area networks. Datadog's Agent collects SNMP data by polling object identifiers (OIDs), which act as addresses pointing to device data, and submits the responses as metrics for visualization, correlation, and alerting. Monitoring network devices alongside the rest of your infrastructure can help break down organization-wide silos that make it difficult to troubleshoot hardware-to-application layer issues. Datadog's SNMP integration also provides automatic device discovery, device-specific profiles, common metrics from any device type, and machine learning-powered forecasting for bandwidth saturation detection.
