Summary

Datadog's Cloud Network Monitoring (CNM) Network Health is a tool designed to provide a unified view of network issues across various specialized domains within organizations, helping to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by clearly identifying the source of connectivity problems and providing contextual recommendations for resolution. The tool enhances visibility by correlating real-time flow data, TCP metrics, and cloud configurations to pinpoint issues such as security group misconfigurations, TLS handshake errors, and DNS resolution failures, which traditional observability tools may overlook. By leveraging insights from the Datadog Watchdog AI engine, Network Health offers in-depth analysis and suggested remediation steps, enabling teams to address the root causes of network problems more efficiently and ensuring that network connections remain secure and reliable.
