Datadog's SNMP integration enables administrators to monitor and alert on the health and performance of their on-premise network infrastructure alongside the rest of their stack from a centralized platform. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to collect data about network devices, which can be accessed through object identifiers (OID). The Datadog Agent collects SNMP data by polling OIDs and submitting responses as metrics, making it possible to visualize, correlate, and alert on these metrics across the Datadog platform. This integration helps break down organization-wide silos that make it difficult to troubleshoot hardware-to-application layer issues, allowing for quicker resolution of problems. The system automatically discovers all SNMP-enabled network devices in a provided subnet after configuring the integration, and provides device-specific profiles and common metrics from any device type independent of the manufacturer. By using Datadog's machine learning-powered forecasting feature, administrators can preemptively catch bandwidth saturation on their switches and prevent potential issues. Additionally, tags on SNMP metrics enable granular data comparison across devices, providing a comprehensive end-to-end overview of the network environment.
