Monitor NS1 with Datadog

What's this blog post about?

NS1 is an intelligent DNS and traffic management platform that optimizes network infrastructure performance and speeds application delivery to end users. It supports ECS DNS extension and Filter Chain technology, which minimize application latency and provide a high-quality user experience. Datadog's NS1 integration collects key metrics such as query rates and lease counts, visualizing them in an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring alongside other telemetry from the application infrastructure. The integration allows tracking of query rates across NS1 accounts, records, and zones, enabling adjustments to infrastructure or TTL configurations when necessary. It also provides visibility into Pulsar performance and availability, helping optimize routing and application delivery. Additionally, Datadog collects NS1 usage metrics for cost management and forecasting alerts to prevent exceeding monthly query limits.
