Monitor Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN performance with Datadog
Blog post from Datadog
As organizations expand their cloud environments and branch office networks, maintaining reliable connectivity becomes increasingly complex, which VeloCloud SD-WAN addresses through dynamic, policy-based routing to ensure dependable and cost-efficient connectivity and consistent application performance. Datadog's integration with VeloCloud SD-WAN provides unified visibility into network connectivity by collecting metrics and logs directly from the VeloCloud Orchestrator, allowing for proactive WAN management and faster issue detection. This integration supports monitoring of link performance and edge device resource usage, enabling diagnostics of network disruptions through real-time anomaly detection and customizable dashboards. Additionally, Datadog Network Device Monitoring (NDM) offers a device-oriented view, facilitating the exploration and investigation of network hardware performance, while machine learning-powered anomaly detection identifies underperforming transport links to optimize routing policies. The combined capabilities of NDM and the VeloCloud integration deliver end-to-end visibility into SD-WAN infrastructure, reducing downtime and enhancing WAN reliability across distributed environments.
