Best practices for getting started with Datadog Network Performance Monitoring

Datadog Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) is a tool that helps identify and troubleshoot problems in modern services and applications by providing comprehensive visibility into network traffic flows. It collects key TCP/UDP and DNS data related to traffic between endpoints, including VMs, containers, services, cloud regions or datacenters, and more. The NPM Overview dashboard provides a unified view of key network health and performance metrics across different facets of your distributed network, making it easier to troubleshoot problems within different layers of network performance and correlate that data with other telemetry from the environment. Datadog NPM also enables users to quickly monitor critical dependencies with Saved Views and correlates network data with telemetry from each layer of their stack for a deeper understanding of the health of their environment.
