Summary

In modern cloud infrastructure, network monitoring is crucial due to increased distribution and exposure to networking issues. Datadog's APM (Application Performance Monitoring) and NPM (Network Performance Monitoring) are integrated tools that help analyze application and network performance data together for efficient troubleshooting of root causes of application issues. By using these tools, users can easily correlate traces with network data to identify the source of application latency, examine spans showing runtime errors or long execution times, investigate resource bottlenecks, and visualize network traffic between any tagged object in their environment. Datadog's unified tagging feature allows for seamless integration between NPM and APM, enabling teams to gain more context into problems and streamline the process of managing services and triaging issues in production.
