Summary

Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitor is a network monitoring service that enables customizable monitors for AWS to on-premises infrastructure via AWS Direct Connect (DX). It alerts users to connectivity issues and collects metrics such as packet loss and round-trip latency. Datadog's integration with this service allows users to send network monitoring metrics for Direct Connect paths to Datadog, offering deep visibility into network performance alongside monitors and telemetry from across hybrid systems. Users can create custom dashboards in Datadog to view alerts and metrics in one place, enabling quick identification and resolution of issues.
