Datadog's Synthetic Monitoring now includes Network Path, a feature designed to enhance the diagnosis of application slowdowns and failures by providing a comprehensive view of network performance issues. This tool allows teams to identify whether problems originate from application code or the underlying network, facilitating quicker resolution of user-facing issues. By simulating real-world conditions from global locations, Network Path provides detailed insights into network behavior, helping to pinpoint latency and packet loss. This proactive monitoring approach enables teams to set alerts for network conditions, reducing the time spent on reactive troubleshooting and minimizing user impact. The integration of browser, API, and network tests offers a unified context for understanding and addressing issues, ensuring more reliable and resilient digital experiences. Network Path tests are now available to all Synthetic Monitoring customers, supporting faster root cause analysis and improved service-level health.
